Up at 5am 7 days a week here too. In the office by 6am at the very latest (except Sundays)
My commute is a whole 7 minutes, so that helps haha.
Usually in bed at about 10pm, so 7 hours.
It helps if you can sleep well to begin with. That's something I struggle with...
Things that help:
A DARK room (I even throw a cloth over the alarm clock to block the light)
Heated blanket instead of forced air heat
No electronics an hour before bed
Go to bed physically tired (I lift late at night, like 9pm)
Use mint flavored toothpaste in the morning, use a non-mint flavor at night. This helps "cue" your body that it is time to sleep. (I use orange flavor)
Sincerely no offense meant here @SwissTuxedo , but I usually assume that if someone struggles getting up in the AM, it's because they have a bad attitude and just don't "want" too get up early. Ya know?
Have a reason to get up (life is good!), make positive choices regarding health and sleeping well, and it shouldn't be hard, really.
