| Dec 19, 2018 at 20:45 | comment | added | Meg | In modern English slang, the term 'woke' is related to having understanding that most other people don't (specifically awareness of social injustice in the world), and is related in an obvious way to 'no longer sleeping'. I am not sure it quite fits because it's not specifically pre-dawn/early rising or generic wisdom. | |
| Dec 19, 2018 at 16:00 | comment | added | JimmyJames | Not a word but this seems a lot like the saying: "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise". Often attributed to Ben Franklin but according to that reference, it predates him. | |

| Dec 18, 2018 at 21:42 | comment | added | Al Maki | One meaning of "far sighted" is someone who is more aware than others of future implications of current events, so it's similar to what you're looking for although it has no reference to when one wakes up. It also means someone whose vision of nearby objects is poor. | |

| Dec 18, 2018 at 16:41 | comment | added | Robusto | @FumbleFingers: The other way to say that, courtesy of humorist James Thurber: "Early to rise, early to bed / Makes a man healthy and wealthy and dead." | |

| Dec 18, 2018 at 16:33 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | (But apart from Early to bed, early to rise \ Makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise, I don't think early rising has paricularly strong associations with "wisdom". It's more something the serfs do before going to work in the fields, while the lord of the manor enjoys his lie-in.) | |
| Dec 18, 2018 at 16:26 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | The nearest Anglophonic "metaphor" for this is probably the early bird (who catches the worm). But even crowing roosters don't usually start until first light, so a pre-cockcrow riser would probably be understood. | |
