TL;DR; If you are a morning person, try it. If you are not a morning person, let it be.

The day has 24h: 8h work, 8,5h sleep (if everything goes well) and 7,5h for everything else. So I gain nothing from getting up early and instead I would deprivate me of some sleep because I already have trouble getting to bed at about 22:30.

I am just not a morning person. Wake up, get fresh, go to work, don‘t talk to me the first 90 min after getting out of bed.

Hitting the gym in the morning? 🥴🤔😖
I prefer it after work. Then my head is free. No more obligations today. „Me-Time“!

Learning to code in a new language? Try new stuff? If your employer values you, you could do that at work. Maybe not full time, but at least experimenting should be in it for you.
If I am not on a tight deadline, I made it a habit to always try something new. Not the Bazillion-th same Asp.Net Web-Forms Website, but ASP.NET MVC or now I changed to .Net Core trying SignalR and Azure WebApps, Functions ... the Full Monty.
