I make overnight oats nearly every night.
I use steel cut oats in the slow cooker over night, add dates, apple, cinnamon and chia seeds.
It is ready for me before I leave for work at ~6:10, and ready for the rest of the family when they have breakfast at 7:30.

Being awake at that hour.
I finish at 2:30 in afternoon, I'm home before the kids....
Ok but you go to bed at like 20
I don't sleep that much. I have the advantage of being a short sleeper, 4-6 hrs per night is normal, I find it very difficult to sleep more than 6 hrs.
I'm usually in bed by 11, and asleep before 12.
I wake before my alarm at 5:30
that is great, that you can organise work and kids that way! in my estimate, you see your kids more than many 9 to 6 workers
I do indeed.
I also took a job far closer to home last year, I'm only commuting 8 minutes each way now.
Not getting to eat breakfast with them
I get after school activities with them.
Hot overnight oats? I always made them in a mason jar in the fridge. My favorite was 1/2 cup of oats, 1/2 cup of vanilla yogurt, 1/2 cup of milk, all in a jar and then fill the rest of the jar up with frozen blueberries and strawberries (cut ones). Close, put in fridge, eat cold the next morning. The oats will have soaked up the liquid and gotten soft. It's a nice cold cereal and quick to pour into a bowl, stir a bit, and chow down.
Have to use steel cut oats, rolled oats turn into mush if cooked overnight.
Yeah that would definitely be my biggest worry. If I weren't diabetic now I would try it.
