When I was 11, I got a job delivering the Herald Tribune. I woke at 0550 and, was outside waiting for my papers which were dropped off about 0615~0620. I folded the papers and then delivered them on my bike. On completing my route, I changed for school, ate breakfast and, was then off to school. In a short time, I was waking up just before my alarm would go off. Years later, I was no longer delivering papers but, still woke at 0550. It's amazing how much you can get done that early before the normal distractions arise.
Sadly, for the last 40+ years, I've been on irregular / rotating shift schedules. My internal clock now has no idea which way is up. I'm hoping that when I retire, I'll be able to get back to being a morning person again.
