Most days I'm up at 4.40, then drive to gym near work. Workout, then have breakfast at work between 7 and 7.30. Finish work at 17.30 and home by 19.00.
I try and get to bed at 10pm
Been doing this for about 20 years.
At 5am I still have 3 hours sleep to go.
Get a dog and live somewhere northwards - dawn is 4am at which point the Dawn chorus is in full swing, next door’s cockerel is shouting to be let out and one of our dogs usually wants out. By 5am the first brew has been consumed, I’ve probably read the paper online and Mrs DB is attending to her chickens.
The other problem I have with all this is part of the OP's opening statement:
I see lots of social media and celebrities promoting getting up at 5am daily on the basis your X times more productive through the day.
What's this overwhelming need to be "more productive"?
