Starting CBT and mindfulness on B-Unit

Has anyone tried early-morning groups with intake? I ran an 8-week CBT/mindfulness pilot at 7:15 a.m. Tuesdays on B-Unit in October — 12 men, zero incidents, several reported less morning panic — and I’m looking for practical tips to keep it going while coordinating with custody, count, and med pass.
