      Bruh, why so early? If you're in a trade where you have to work with customers, like electrician or plumber, I wouldn't want to meet the first customer before 8am... or are you working in a factory with shifts?

      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. Not only craftsmen, all kinds of employees too, government here in Berlin had to forbid its tax employees and others to clock in before 7, so now most still come in and clock in later.

      @@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.
