I hate when that happens.

Holy ****! What are you doing up at that ungodly hour?

It is the best time of the day to get some work done. No phone calls
and no interruptions.

When I was fighting the corporate wars, I always got in by 5:30 AM,
cleared my desk, did what ever was left over, got the day's schedule
rolling. Got more done between 5:30 and 9 AM than I did the entire
rest of the day.

During my last six months in Vietnam, I flew 'Dawn Patrol' over the 25th
Div AO. The purpose was to find any blown bridges, cratered roads, or other
impediments to traffic created by the bad guys overnight. We'd take off
before the sun came up. That daily hour or so will always be one of my
life's highlights.

Never did that, but I did get a ride on a F4 Phantom Christmas '68
over the Central Highlands at dawn.

It was incredible - beautiful wouldn't be too strong a word to use.
Hard to believe there was a war on.
