Hi Jamison. It's called "Dawn Phenomenon". A bit before we wake up, our bodies produce some hormones, and along with it, the liver pumps out some glucose, to help get us "up and runnin", so to speak. Here's a good site that explains it a bit better than I can. If this link doesn't show up, just google Dawn Phenomenon, and click on the first link listed.
