| As "got" is the past participle of "get" in British English, I would say it is correct in British English. In American English it would not be correct. In American English it would have to be "gotten". |

| Even if we remove the modifier: Often, it will still be wrong. |

| It is correct (in UK english). Ignoring preferences to punctuation, to say "I have often risen at 5am" is surely correct. (The various translations of the opening words of a la recherche de temps perdu could give a guide here). Assuming that "got up" is an acceptable alternative to "risen", there is nothing wrong here. |

| "got" isn't in the correct tense, therefore it's not perfectly comparable to "risen" |
