i was a barista for ten years and preferred the opening shift even though it meant getting up at 5.
i haven't had a barista job since 2018 and my body is now permanently stuck waking up at 5 whether i need to or not: "sorry, rothko, this is just how it is now. deal with it."
trying to stay in bed just makes me restless and cranky so i usually get up, eat some cereal, do my meditation/etc, and then start the coffee machine. by then it's 7 and my husband actually has a vague chance of waking up, although it takes him forever to actually achieve anything like full consciousness. so i bring him coffee, lay back down, and eventually he's ready to get outta bed at 8:30 for his long commute down the hall to his office.
he also takes for frickin' EVER getting ready to leave for anywhere. we'll get out the door and then he'll remember something and go back for it... sometimes multiple times. makes me insane. but we both prefer to get places early and are usually the first ones to show up at a gathering.
