I don't quite know what happened to me. When I was working in the office, it took all my willpower to be awake and dressed and at work by 9am. I was usually late. Now, I work at home, my commute is down the stairs, I could wake up and be at work in like five minutes. What time do I now wake up at, every day? 4am. Doesn't matter if I went to bed at 9pm or 2am, I wake up between 4 and 5am. This is proof that while the gods are mostly kind and generous to me, sometimes they just like to fuck with me.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
if I have to be awake before, say, 7AM
What time do you go into work? When I worked ten minutes from home I could have gotten away with that, but that was only for about a year and a half of my entire working career. 7am or earlier it has to be. And I can't imagine the effects lasting all day.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I've learned to be more chipper in the morning, thanks to DW. She did not tolerate my super anti-morning grump, so I tried to be better and I am. Even as a child, I was terrible in the mornings. I still don't LIKE mornings, but I can hide it a bit better now.

Ugh. Smonster is my sister in lack of wakefulness. The only thing for me, that works, is knowing I have to catch a plane. And even then, it's more like "snooze, snooze, snooze, OK, throw random clothes in a bag, don't take a shower, out the door in ten minute with the least amount of time possible to drive to airport and make it to gate on time"
Otherwise, I'm so late to anything I'm due at after I wake up (be it first thing in the morning or after a nap).

It does help that my current job allows me to have my optimal sleep time (2 a.m. - 10 a.m.).
my sistah! When I was consulting, I was well rested, and in good shape because I was going to the gym 4-5 days a week because I didn't have to wake up early or drag myself after work when I was tired.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

What time do you go into work?
Microsoft "core hours" start at 10AM. For most of this week, I've managed to be at my desk by 9:45. The alarm goes off at 8 or 8:15, and I'm out the door by 9:15 - 9:30.

Smonster mentioned it:
That will teach me to skim before my second pot of tea! That does look pretty interesting. I may have to get it for Beetlejuice the iPhone and try it out.
