I have attempted the pretty much the same thing. I would sleep at 9, get up at 5. I would probably like earlier, if not for my fiance's schedule and my 1+ hour commute. If your work/family/social schedules will allow it, I would highly recommend it. My jaunt into being an early riser ended when my work had a series of meetings with China all starting after 9pm. I might attempt it again after I move closer to work. I really loved working out before work.
