Jesus, what is the obsession with getting up earlier? She goes on and on about being more productive, but at the end of the day what does she do besides answer a few emails, take a few photos, receive a few parcels etc? I think if I were her I'd be shamelessly languishing in the lifestyle of doing very little and getting paid for it - don't bother setting an alarm, you're not on a schedule, New York is 24 hour as she's always reminding us so you'll be receiving emails outside of your chosen work hours no matter what work hours you choose - suit yourself!
I wouldn't have any problem with the "getting up early" thing if she actually seemed to genuinely want to do it, but she doesn't. I think she thinks it's riveting content.
I mean I get up earlier now than I would have a year ago too: because I have a bad back and a shite mattress
She'll look back on this time when she has children or a real job (i.e., actual reasons to get up at sparrow-fart) and go "what was I doing?! why did I waste all that lovely sleep?"
