I wake up early, eager to get out of bed and go do something. 

My coffee is brewing as I'm getting dressed, and then I often go for a
walk, taking the garbage can out to the curb on the garbage pickup
days.

After my walk I dispense with other essential morning functions and
then I sit down at the computer, scribble a few ideas I conjured up on
my walk about my current project, book, or whatever, and only then am
I surprised and delighted to see some of Krygowski's late night drivel
on Usenet...

I can't resist pointing out his many failings, and it seems to have
benefited him, as well, as he's became a little less obnoxious. 

He seems to have come to the understanding that nobody likes a
braggart, and that his bragging is probably why so many of his bike
club members avoid him.

Here's more information on early risers....

"As for who is happier, many studies have indeed shown an association
between being a morning person and greater happiness. For a recent
example, consider a study of hundreds of medical students conducted at
Dokuz Eylul University in Turkey – higher scores in morningness (ie, a
self-reported preference for getting up early) were associated with
scoring higher on a questionnaire measure of happiness."

[....]

"According to a study carried out at the University of Leipzig,
[morning] lark emotional advantage also manifests in greater
satisfaction with life and reduced vulnerability to mental health
problems. Other studies suggest that people who are [night] owls are
more likely than [morning] larks to experience symptoms of depression,
seasonal affective disorder and substance abuse problems."
