That sounds extremely early to me (but then maybe it's just that I might have a strange idea of what's early and late....)5:45 am -- roughly the time that I have my first cup of coffee.
Can I ask, why so early?

Why are the French not as fat as Americans? Is it because they all still smoke tobacco? (I know, cliche stereotypes}
Beat me to it.I imagine the portions differ, too.
What is your favourite hour of the day?
My favourite hour of the day is the 23rd hour
The one that starts at 11pm
I like it because it is a good time to go to bed, the day feels over at 23:00
It is also the traditional time that the pubs close in the UK
It is late, but not absurdly late
And you have 60 minutes until a new day begins
I like it
Edit: 10pm is also good
I don't get this. How the heck can dinner last that long? I'm speaking of regular mid-week dinner, not a dinner party. There is no way anyone can continuously eat that long. What else is going on?

They don't eat that long.
5 or 7 small courses spread over 2 or 3 hours with conversation breaks in between.
They spend a lot of time at table, but they spend most of it talking to each other. And they eat small portions.
For my family, these describe holiday get togethers, or other family or friend gatherings in which those at table are not people you see and interact with every day.
If we are talking about an every day occurrence with the same people, such a custom would not fit my personality ... at all. Not that much changes in a twenty-four hour period that requires a 3 hour airing. Having everyone together at dinnertime was important, almost mandatory, but it is a one hour event. There were still things to do after dinner and before bed.
While there are those in my extended family who have the capacity to talk non-stop for three hours daily, I do not have the capacity to listen to it.![]()
