3:30 is early. 5am is table stakes.
Couldn’t imagine doing this, purely considering the implications of going to bed with the sun up and offsetting my schedule to accommodate a commute that early.
People do, in fact, do this. Absolutely fucking baffling to me, but they do.
Whether you can or should do it depends heavily on your particular circumstances, of course. But when I started doing it, I wondered why more people weren’t talking about it. Personally, I find it fantastic.
Reminds me of some friends that work third shift, and they’re working through nights and sleeping during the day and I don’t get how they pull it off.
