I walk absolutely everywhere I can to make up for not exercising; if I find myself with an empty evening, I force myself to walk an hour down the mountain to the grocery store instead of taking my bike or sitting around at home in front of my computer. It's terrible and I hate it, but about 10 minutes into my walk, I realize it's actually giving me time to think and literally appreciate the scenery.
I also do the 100 push-ups program after work; it's literally 5-8 minutes, so even if I feel like skipping it, I just tell myself "Hey, it's just five minutes of your time. Skip hitting F5 on all of those sites and just do it."
The best tip I can offer is to find something that suits your personality. It sounds like you feel stretched for time, so maybe you should find a quick workout, or even a quick stretching routine. Start small] five minutes three times a week, then expand once you're in the habit.
As far as sleeping... it's a lot like jet lag, in my experience -- it takes at least a month, if not more for your body to not only switch to begin tired/awake at all of those times, but also to switch a lot of other things over (for example, bowel movements?) so that you feel more comfortable waking up at those times. All I can suggest is to try it for at least two months without breaking your habit for any reason. Go to bed early, wake up early... give yourself something nice to look forward to every morning.
Best of luck!
