So it's been 7 weeks now and I done this for 5 of them.

It's pretty awesome. The sleep you get is of the highest quality.

You definitely can get more done in the day, although after a few weeks my focus waned and my morning schedule became a little more scattered than before.

I'd get up, get my meditation done, get showered, breakfast, then clutch at straws as to how I filled the next 2 hours. I'd of course do things I wanted to do like reading or researching business ideas or studying, but without real purpose or drive in what I chose to do.

I had a major realisation that focus is what I need to work on right now. For instance, I've enrolled on a history degree, I've applied to volunteer at the museum, I've started out on a new career, I'm looking at side-business ideas, I have a mammoth reading list, I have unfinished courses, I'm writing something, and probably other smaller things.

Having started with a brand new company that will grow and I'll have the opportunity to grow with, I think I could probably let the business thing slide for now and be content with the position I'm currently in, and just shut the fuck up and read my books and enjoy my free time instead of making myself anxious feeling like I need to be doing more on the side.

As for the 5am club, and even your day in general, making a damn schedule to follow is worthwhile.

It's also the longest I've ever sustained regular meditation too. I feel it's helped me a little bit so far, but I think I'll need to do this for much longer in order to fully evaluate the true benefits.
