I'm the opposite.
I usually get up quite late in the afternoon due to working strange hours, and most of my league games occur at around 10am GMT.
I've had to start setting my alarm so I can wake up for 10 mins just to spectate the match, then go back to sleep.
Reason being, every match I've missed over the past few months against weaker opposition, I've lost, even with 70-30 possession.
It seems my team always needs that extra 8% to win.
