This is really helpful. Thank you both, Dominic and Scott for valuable feedback.
Dominic, I really took this line to heart: “Alpine starts and lack of sleep are just part of the inherent stress that needs to be overcome to climb mountains”. The fact that everyone is probably all slugging through the first part of alpine start is somehow comforting – I’ll embrace this fact at camp. The advice to start shifting sleep schedule can be applied with a low effort so I’ll plan on this- a great idea as well. Perhaps waking up 30minute earlier than everyone’s alarm will give me a head-start (sleeping at individual tents for safe social distancing!) and time to gather self a bit more than haphazardly getting ready in a crunched time.
And to Scott’s point, no morning person may enjoy getting up at midnight to start a climb..I’ll try to mentally shift to fully embrace and welcome this part of the routine rather than build so much anxieties around it. Thank you both
