Since dieting & exercising over the last 2 years I have been waking up earlier & earlier over that period & now I often I can wake at 4.30am & not feel like I need anymore sleep. I do not get tired in the afternoon as I used to & get off to sleep OK at night but I find it hard to sleep in which I see as a good thing.

As you have only recently started just give it a bit of time for your body to adjust but keep it up I find any exercise good for my anxiety.

After joining a gym I did the same thing. I was waking early in the mornings, and I wanted to go back to sleep out of habit but really wasn't tired enough to fall asleep. I think working out really gives us added energy boosts. Plus it just takes a while for your body to adjust

Haha I know! I was really wanting to go back to sleep just to enjoy laying there. But as we get more fit and in better shape our bodies want to get up and move! Even if we don't want them to :D
