get up early
Beat the alarm
To get up early is to rise from bed before the usual or expected time, typically in the morning: I get up early to exercise before work.
The phrase often implies discipline or intention rather than necessity.
What counts as early depends on context—5 a.m. for some, 8 a.m. for others.
