Rosh Hashana 32b, based on [this verse] describing Abraham, who arose especially early to fulfill God’s word in readiness to sacrifice his son Isaac.   Therefore, it is customary to try to do a time-bound mitzvah as early as possible, such as performing a brit milah (ritual circumcision) as early as possible in the morning of the eighth day of a baby boy’s life.  Shulchan Aruch, Toreh De’ah 262:1.  AMEMEI 283
