early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise
We have the same saying in Danish: morgenstund har guld i mund. The saying cannot be translated literally, but the above translation is a close match.
Good luck!

The early bird catches the worm
A set phrase (a saying, an idiom) stating that waking up early is a prerequisite for success. Nonsense if you ask me :o)
