What do people usually do when they wake up at 5:00 am?

If I didn’t enjoy what I do, I’d probably hate getting up so early. But since the opposite is true, early rising has become a pleasant habit.
I have never been someone who enjoyed getting up early. If left to my own devices, I’ll sleep until about 8:00—which I do on weekends and holidays. But I buy and sell options every day, with several hundred people following my trade recommendations. On most mornings, I can’t wait for the day to start.
I am a professional options trader. I live on the West Coast, so the stock market opens at 6:30 Pacific time. My alarm goes off at 6:15, although I am usually somewhat awake by that time, and I am in front of my computer when the opening bell goes off.

I am in bed by about 9:30. I listen to audiobooks on my earbuds. They put me to sleep within about 15 minutes.
And the cat knows when it’s time to get up and have breakfast. He reminds me on those rare occasions when I try to grab an extra ten minutes after the alarm goes off.
