I don't know the breakdown of your schedule.

But, would it be possible to immediately go to bed at the end of the day and then get up two hours early?

The point is, you have limited mental and physical energy. Shifting your schedule around just means you have less energy to devote to whatever you end your day with (which, in the case of kids, is not a good idea).

I was attempting to say this above, more or less.

Tried this. My children are young. If I go downstairs, they will hear and think it's time to get up. How am I to demand they go back to bed when their role model isn't?

Tell them if they want to get up that early like you then they need to crank out some production-level code.
