As for early to bed, great for the farms everyone lived on 200 years ago. It might even be good for your health, but some people aren't morning people, and it all depends on when they have to be at work. On the other hand, being up at sunrise gives you an appreciation of the outdoors, of time, of the day.
Take it from there. You need a lot more. Think!
