Woo, delayed sleep phase syndrome high five! It's interesting that you go to bed earlier in the summer; I often stay up until dawn. Going to bed "on time" (~2 a.m.) is much easier in the winter when I haven't had all that sunlight to wire me up.

My wake-up routine is pretty much the same regardless of timing, though. If I have a thing I have to get to, I stay in bed until about 10 minutes past the "must get up by this time or I will be late" cut-off, panic, skip showering and eating, jump into clothes, head out the door. If I don't have a thing, I doze until I am incontrovertibly awake, then meander into shower and food and clothes and so forth.

One unexpected side effect of having been on the wrong schedule for 25 years is that I can't eat until I've been awake for at least half an hour, because I get really queasy when I wake up much earlier than my body clock wants to, and even now that I'm able to keep a mostly natural-feeling schedule, my stomach is always a bit wary when I get up.
