I'm fascinated by what 'up and Adam' could possibly mean

It’s Adam and Eve not Adam and sleep.

Up and Steve! That’s my motto. Up and then a nap because getting up is too strenuous.

A physics prof at my school had a huge “Up and atom” poster in his office. Puns seem to be the irresistible force all physicists can agree on.

It's also a Simpsons reference. It is the catchphrase of Radioactive Man.

Did not know that! Didn’t have a television until I was 27… has impeded my performance when trivia MCs are very into the Simpsons.

“Up and at ‘em” is the original. ( I’m old)

Up and get to work like you are the only human in existence, so like, you have to do everything before someone comes along to help - taking one of your own ribs in the process. It’s daunting!
