Best option with using a clause with "although"
 
Hello everybody,
 
I have this sentence to rewrite using "Although"  - I like to go to bed late, but it is difficult to get up early in the morning. 
 
What is the best option:
- Although I like to go to bed early, it is difficult to get up early in the morning.  
 
 OR
 
- Although it is difficult to get up early in the morning, I like to go to bed late. 
 
Thanks in advance for all your help. 
 
Have a great Sunday.

Both options are definitely correct (except that you accidentally put "early" instead of "late" in the first one), but I like the second one a little better.

Thank you Bruce for your help. This example is driving me completely nuts, so I am so sorry for switching the words. Thanks once again.

When teaching contrast clauses, I usually give the students the following example/schema:
 
It was raining hard (fact 1) but I went outside without an umbrella (fact 2)
fact 1 BUT fact 2. 
 
ALTHOUGH fact 1, fact 2. 
Although it was raining hard, I went outside without an umbrella. 
 
It usually works.
