As a night owl myself, I don't try to be a morning person. I just do the things that don't need strong focus for the first couple of hours. Clear out emails, etc. I'm lucky now that I can schedule my time mostly. In jobs where I didn't have a choice, I found mornings quite awful. Night owls often have more sustained stamina once they get going. Morning people who are bright and perky when they get up, also crash and burn pretty fast. They're sprinters, night owls are marathon runners...
