I hate getting up early also, but with the summer weather here it's sooo nice in the early a.m. to train. My first couple months when I started training last year (July/August) I ran and biked at night. I decided to try a morning ride in late August. Was tough to get up and going, but nice to be riding in 80's instead of 110 temps.  I got lazy again during the winter as it was no fun riding in the cold. In between now with a split of morning and evening sessions. Gonna have to get back to early mornings next month.  I don't know that I ever 'adjusted', just a matter of getting on the road.  I think the best part is knowing in the afternoon that the daily training is done and you can relax at home for the evening. Of course I used to go bed at 1am, now it's 9:30.

Yeah, I'll start to do more morning training to avoid the heat and humidity of the afternoon as we get into summer.  As far as sleep goes I used to got to bed no earlier than 2am in college.  Boy, did that change once I started working.  I used to come it at 8am, but found I could get more done when I came in earlier.  So I slowly progressed from coming in at 8 to coming in at 6.  I guess now when I train in the morning I don't wake up any earlier, I just go into work later so it's really not that big of a shock.  And yeah, I try to be in bed before 10
