Although man is warm-blooded, and although modern technology allows us to bend and stretch our days as we wish, getting up before the sun continues to make one keenly aware of the rhythm of nature and how much one is violating it.

Why on earth are you doing that? If one must be up before dawn, the proper way to do it is an all-night gaming session; I thought everyone knew that! :-)

He got up early to be an awesome friend and give me a ride to the hospital. It is completely valid, and even worth bonus points. :)

This is true. Come to think of it, the last time I saw dawn from the wrong end, it was because I was driving a girl to the hospital...

I'm wondering what sense you mean that you're violating the rhythm of nature? After all, think about it from the tribal safety point of view, where our genes were mostly selected for - you need to get a mix of "up in the daytime" and "up in the night time" people in order to insure the safety of the tribe, and therefore the individuals in it. So I'd expect the normal game-theory derived solution: given that no one solution dominates all the others, the gene pool ought to split genes between day-risers and night-risers in a percentage consistent for the payoffs of each strategy.
