When we were housesitting for my parents, I got up around 5:00am every day. That gave me enough time to sit around in the morning and check my email, drink coffee, listen to NPR, take a shower, and head out by 7:00am. Since then, I've been getting up at 5:00am on my own, well before my alarm goes off. I'm not sure if it's because I somehow managed to get used to it in 5 days or because I've been going to bed earlier as a result.
Either way, I enjoy it. I like getting up before the world does and watching the sun slowly open it's eyes to greet the morning. It makes me feel energized and ambitious. Hopefully it'll last.
