Oh yeah, Daylight Savings is a biyatch. I took advantage of the fall time change to start getting up an hour earlier (because my body doesn't realize it's an hour earlier) -- but I hate losing that hour in the spring. I also dislike getting up before it's light out, but you just have to do it sometimes. Theoretically, DST helps save energy, so I suppose the system is worth the inconveniences.
I think 5 a.m. is a good time because a lot of Americans work 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you get up at 5 a.m., you can work out until 6 a.m., shower and get ready for work and eat breakfast until 7 a.m., do personal things until 7:30 a.m., and then be at work by 8 a.m.
