Early waking?

She's not mad or in pain when she wakes up - just wide awake and ready to
start the day. Nothing is more irritating when it's not even light
outside.

Not hungry or thirsty? Sometimes it's just a short phase and if you keep
things boring then it will stop. Are you getting her up, or nursing and
trying to get her back to sleep?
Could it be that she is being woken up by something - a random crazy cat
moment (if you have a cat, you'll know what I mean), or the central heating
switching on? Has a neighbour started getting up at that time so she hears a
car start outside? My dd2 went through a similar phase and it was so
frustrating until we figured out she was hearing the hot water cranking up
in our old central heating system., which is why I always wonder about
outside influences if the baby isn't waking for any obvious reason.
