I had to work a job that started at 3:30 am every morning and the things that helped me were:
I set my alarm to play a favorite song (it linked to my Spotify) instead of dread inspiring beep style alarms
I kept headphones right next to the bed and put them on with a good morning playlist or a chatty YouTube video before I even rolled out of bed - a cold, dark and silent bedroom is very unmotivating to get up to.
I had an "early morning only" reward on those days, it gave me something to look forward to. Example- I was losing weight and watching my sugar, but would treat myself to a sweeter coffee with flavor and half&half on early mornings. On other days of the week I always tried to be better and use skim milk and an alternative sweetener.
