Congratulations, you are now an "early riser." Enjoy the hours from 4-6 am where nothing happens and nobody bothers you (unless you have kids...)
I used to love this. Arrive at work around 06h (getting up at 4:30, 1h drive), do loads of work without noise or people bothering me. Downside was I would go to bed around 21h so my social life was shit as most of my friends work until late and are down to chill from around 20h. Even during weekends this day-night cycle meant my social life was shit. Also my colleagues never saw me starting work so early, so they would always look angry and I would always have to defend myself when leaving early every day. But I could do a week's work in a single day this way and I could enjoy the day during sunlight when I got home making me feel less stressed by work in general. It didn't feel like my daily life consisted of being a work slave, more like I had something useful to do in the first half of the day and loads of time to relax, be creative and active the other half.
This is my preferred schedule but now with a baby I can't make it to work by 6 anymore. We commute together so everyone getting ready then dropping off baby at my moms then dropping off wife at her work. Then working 8 hours then do the reverse to get back home by like 6pm. Though on the weekends I do get a few solid hours of alone time between 6 and 9 to stare at my desktop wondering what to do
Ah, but that's why I don't get a baby. I'm fine with my kittens haha
