Starting with Fajr as a Newcomer to Islam

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I'm on my way to embracing Islam, though I haven't taken my Shahada yet and I'm still learning, I really want to begin performing the five daily prayers. My challenge is adjusting to Fajr. Coming from habits of staying up late, it feels overwhelming to suddenly switch. Is it permissible to ease into it? Like, maybe waking up a bit later at first and gradually shifting my sleep earlier, say by a few minutes each day, until I'm aligned properly. Has anyone tried this approach? JazakAllah khair for any advice.
