A little misleading as she needs to catch the train at 4am. Still, an almost 3 hour commute is brutal.

  Misleading? Do you not include layovers in the time it takes to travel somewhere? Most people do.

    The article says she gets up at 2:15 but doesn't have to leave home until 4:00. As it's generally possible to get ready for work in less than 105 minutes, the "2:15 Alarm" bit highlighted in the headline is a little misleading.

    But she likes to take her time and have coffee. She keeps the lights low and the house quiet and Zen-like. “I just can’t rush like that,” she said. When the second alarm goes off at 3:45 — a reminder to leave for the train in 15 minutes — her morning shifts from leisure to precision. She could get up somewhat later to catch her train.

      Right. That's addressed later in the article.

        Hence the title being misleading.

    She says she likes to take her time also and enjoy her coffee etc. I think it's fair to say it's a little misleading.

    It's misleading because the title makes it sound like a 5 hour commute, when in reality, 2 hours of it are her spending time leisurely around the house in the morning before leaving.
