The key is not to give the best hours of your life to your employer. If that’s the first 2-3 hours after you wake up, then wake up rebelliously early and rock out before work.
Way to tell is you normally find yourself coming home from work and basically collapsing and not being able to fully engage with the things you love. If that’s you, it’s worth giving the early bird thing a fair chance.
Of course, if you know in your bones that that just ain’t you and life begins at 9pm, then get your groove on then and don’t worry about what the morning people are saying. In a different life the two of you would have just taken different shifts keeping watch to defend the village from wolves and stuff.
Important thing is just finding what works best for you

indeed, it’s why I quit work at 40 (am now 60) and can shit post more often on here.
Having simple tastes helped, I’d rather cycle to the beach for a swim, read my book and watch the kite surfers and then cycle over to the library to browse and choose another book rather than go to work. Overwhelmingly others prefer being parked in traffic for hours, to afford the car they have need of, to go to work.
Certainly a good idea and in summer I make use of the hours before work quite often. But wtf do you do in winter when it’s dark until shortly before you start work and is dark by the time you finish?
Summer mornings before work I often go for a swim and then cook breakfast on the beach before cycling home to start work.
Can do whatever you want really, it’s your time after all! For one example, I prefer trail running but if conditions don’t permit it I just hit the treadmill with an audiobook.
We could probably make a whole separate post for this! Ask people if they’re night owls or morning maniacs, and what they like to do with that time

I’d say that however you feel before and after work, you should try both for a short while.
You will change when you change your routine. You can never tell beforehand how.

I prefer to go somewhere, an exercise machine is so boring.
Hence the book!
