From Night Owl to 5am Dad

Used to stay up until 2-3am gaming and watching videos. Now I'm up at 5am without an alarm because my 2 year old decided that's breakfast time. Honestly I miss the silence and the feeling of having time to myself, but there's something about being the first one awake with coffee in hand while everyone else sleeps that's actually pretty cool. My back hurts more though not gonna lie.

I had the exact same shift happen. Once the baby was born I just stopped having the energy to stay up. Now those 5am hours are actually my favorite part of the day. Coffee's brewing and nobody's yelling yet.

This is wild how common this is. Your body just adjusts. I went from midnight guy to early riser too and now I wouldn't trade that quiet morning time for anything.

Welcome to the 5am club. Honestly it's been better for my mood, my energy levels, everything. Gaming late into the night just doesn't happen anymore and I'm okay with that.
