That presumes getting up is more productive than staying up! One of the things that both helps and hurts my regular work productivity is that I frequently get my best work done from 11 pm to 2 am. That turned out to be very helpful in the 16-hour days I used to put in on my dissertation, or any kind of work that required extended concentration (I know many programmers who work best that way too). However, co-workers attached to the early morning scrum meetings are less impressed.
