I was a nightowl before (going to bed after 01 and getting out of bed around 09), but decided to change it.
The basic point is, the body needs enough (consistent) sleep.
I go to bed between 22 and 23 now, and get out of bed before 06 everyday (yes, that includes weekends as my body likes the consistency) with a success rate somewhere in the nineties (percent).
Also exercising helps getting your body more capable (whenever I drop it a few days in a row "to save time" my productivity drops due to being tired)
And a morning light (basically a clock radio connected to a STRONG lightbulb that turns up your light half an hour before you should wake) really works.
I regularly wake up when the light turns on (half an hour early) and when I sleep away from home, I have a hard time getting out of bed consistently.
Lastly, make sure you leave the bed as soon as you are awake, "resting" in bed for a few minutes before getting up is a sure-fire way to oversleep (as you fall asleep again)
