Update: I finally tried a 4am wake up for my farm and lasted 3 days
So I always slept in on my Stardew save, just rolled out of bed at like 10am game time and still got everything done. Then last Friday I read one of those min max guides about watering crops before 7am and thought fine, I will try it on my new beach farm. Day one was rough because I forgot my watering can was still at Clint's and I wasted 40 in game minutes walking back. Day two I passed out in the mines at 1:50am because I kept pushing for one more copper node. Day three I lost 200 gold from a monster drop when I nodded off for real on my couch in Columbus. I am back to 9am wake ups now and my farm is fine, maybe even better since I am not rushing. Did anyone else try the early bird thing and just give up like me?
