I think if we all want to be power players in the legal field, early wake up times are critical. I would think, most of our days would go like this post law school:
4:30am: wake up
4:45am: hit the gym
5:45am: shower, dress
6:30am: start the work day
1:00pm: eat at desk while writing memos
10:30pm: leave office
11:15pm: spend time with the wife/husband if they haven't divorced us yet
11:16pm: sleep
8:30 isn't anything...
