[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a baby who woke up at 5:30am for over a year.  The key part is being in bed EARLY.  You can't go to bed at 11pm and think that getting up at 5am will be easy.  I go to bed by 9:30pm every single night.  It's rare I stay up later.  If I'm sick, or had a rough week, it's not unusual for me to be in bed at 8:45pm.  My now toddler is in bed before 7pm, so that clearly is what makes this possible.

But no matter what, getting to bed early every night is the key.[/quote]

Totally true. My crappy sleeping second kid made me a morning person. I do appreciate it now!  But those very early wake ups made it so that we were in bed literally at 8 pm some nights because we were so exhausted and would be up all night and then for good at 4:30. Her sleeping got better but the habit of going to bed on the early side stuck around so I wake up earlier now, and easier. Op is right, getting up at 5 am and having time to piddle around without rushing is such a nice start to the day. I ended up going back to school for my Master's last year and that habit was so good to have because it meant I was fine with waking up very early to squeeze in schoolwork and whatnot.

So basically yes: go to bed at 9 if you can so that a 5 am wake up doesn't feel brutal. [/quote]
