It doesn't sound weird, sounds human.

I tried to have a morning routine more than once, but the trade-offs where two big to keep it going. Two things stand out for me:
- It works only in the summer. The absence of natural light at 4.30 in the morning is a big no-no for me. I can't get productive on artificial lights only. Sounds weird, I know.
- Social life goes to hell. I live in a big city. Keeping up with friends, even if it's just a small circle of those I really want to keep around me, is basically a evening side-job. To get up at 4.30 every day I would probably have to cut this drastically, and I'm not sure the balance would be positive for me. I'm also single, so you know, some nice encounters are usually a matter for the nights.
From my experience, this is a daily schedule that may fit a family person, a short sleeper, a monk or a hermit.
