Have you thought about trying to nap in the afternoon? I was very productive when i was waking up early and did the nap thing, even though I felt groggy for an hour or so after the nap.

Klonopin -- it works great for me if the cause of insomnia is anxiety or hypomania. I don't think I'd suggest it for drug-induced early rising, but I don't know. Xanax, even less so.
Sonata I don't know about. Lunesta works great, although I don't take it because it leaves a terrible taste in my mouth for the entire day.
