It's possible that's the time when your levels of Serotonin and ~or Norepinephrine are lower. This all varies from person to person, and also can shift with time during one person's life. There are home lab tests that can be done, giving the treating doctor so much more information as to what meds might be more effective, what supplements might add to a positive result, when they should be taken, etc, and frankly I have never been able to figure out why the hell more doctors don't use them....although I have a feeling it probably has something to do with money . I have an awesome doctor and we used to do these tests periodically, but unfortunately without being able to afford health insurance any more I just can't afford them. And btw it's not that they're all that expensive, but just that times are really tight here. I wish you the very best of luck with those morning tears And just one more thing I have discovered somewhere in my reading....statistically early mornings are the worst time for a large majority of people suffering from depression. Just found that interesting, as it has been the case with me for a long time. Big Hug ~whimsy
