I had also noticed that he was asleep long before lights out. Even now, he's down by 6pm.
Also, since changing his timer, he spends more time in the rest of the tank and chills on his hide, centered between warm and cool. Before he was almost ALWAYS on his hammock under his light. Now he's utilizing the cooler temps which he rarely did before. No clue why this is, just what I'm seeing. For whatever reason he seems more alert and active with the schedule change. Maybe he's just a 'morning' Dragon. ?
Noticed something similar for my Devlyn. At least 1 hour before lights out she goes to find a spot to sleep. It could even be 3/4 hours before lights out. Mostly she sleeps on the cool side, but sometimes she sets up on the floor of the hot side (in a shady spot). She will be awake but has signs of being tired, moving less, blinking slow, relaxed body. Definitely by 7pm right now she looks tired. If things progress anything like last year she will be more awake until 8pm most nights.
I don't think Devlyn is a morning dragon. Sometimes she wakes up and first thing she goes from a white happy belly to stress lines, lol not a morning dragon. She gets happy again after warming up
