    This is really about habits. I used to be a night owl, but changed my habits gradually and now I’m a morning person. You might have some genetic predisposition towards staying up late, but even so this is something that you can change, I believe.

    What helped me, is that I started enjoying waking up early a lot more than staying up late.

      As an extreme “owl”, I’m also on that journey, although it remains a struggle. What helped me a lot is to set an alarm in the evening to trigger my evening routine without depending on my internal sense of time. My preference is still different, hence the struggle, but my body accommodated to the routine fairly quickly.
