      Assuming 8 hours of sleep and a 4am wake up, that would be an 8pm bed time. Assuming the person works a 9-5, that is 3 hours from the end of work until bed time. I suppose that’s enough time to commute, do chores, eat dinner, and engage in a healthy amount of low stress social time… but I have a hard time imagining most people keeping this bed time consistently. Especially since, at least where I live, you’d be going to bed before sunset for about 1/3 of the year.

      Again, I think a 4am wakeup is dumb for most people, most of the time. There are edge cases, of course. But the average go-getter 9-5er who wants long term success in their career, fitness, and relationships would be better served by waking up later, working out less, and spending more time socializing with other people (preferrably in a healthy way) during after work hours.
