Early bird, for many of the same reasons listed by other users. It's nice to be awake when most people aren't, everywhere you go is more calm and relaxed. No crowds, no rush. No lines in the dining hall, no lines at the local cafe. Nobody else using the showers in the shared bathroom. There are almost countless benefits for a person like me who values a slow pace and a lack of people.

I also feel more productive. My mind tends to fill up with distractions as I go through the day, if I start working on something early on in the day there's nothing else vying for my attention. I can spend some time getting stuff done before my daily obligations, or alternatively I can simply spend some time relaxing and wasting time.
