The other side of that coin -
I am an early riser and have been for years. However, I do NOT function well immediately after getting up. It's like my brain is an ancient computer system that takes some time to fully boot and come on-line. Therefore, my optimal morning schedule is silence - no conversation or other interaction with others, sitting quietly, meditating, sipping tea, - otherwise slipping gradually into full wakefulness. Once that's done though - look out! Full steam ahead.
A side note - I find that if I miss my morning quiet time for some reason, it manifests in various dysfunction throughout my day.
