    Because it's nice to be back at home early and have the afternoon off lazying! Mornings are crisp and serene and one gets stuff done.

    @@jano1574 I used to have to communte for 2 hours in total everyday in my job as an industry electrician. So to be able to clock in at 6am (official start of the working time) I usually had to wake up at 04:30, get my morning routine done and have a small breakfast so that I could start driving before 5am to be there in time and work until 3pm. After driving home it was already 4pm in the afternoon. The advantage of it was that I only had to do this from Monday-Thursday and on Friday I would go home at noon and start my weekend at 1pm.

If the answer is yes - than drink a red bull and start to get ready for your appointment at 15:00. If the answer is no - than drink a beer, take a good breath from your bong and go back to sleep.
