That has happened to me, too. I was consistently getting up at 5:30, until suddenly the sun wasn't rising before that. I had been gradually backing up my waking time by half-hour increments, and I think at one point, my body got used to getting up when the sun did. Then I kept going backward, and sun started rising later! Didn't work so well. I've struggled to get back on track, but it helps to develop the early-rising habit when the sun is rising later--that way you aren't dependent on the light/warmth to cue your body.
