A "classic" Sx of MD: Major depressive episodes often include the symptom of "early morning awakening"; thought to be a result of hormonal disturbances often found with biologically induced depression. Visit a psychiatrist, he/she will review your sleep hygiene; suggest a trial of non-rx melatonin; if these did not help, rozarem, or silenor; stronger antidepressants: trazadone Remeron (mirtazapine) or Elavil may be necessary, ..

As above: I agree with other doctors early morning awakening , it is reflection of md. U need to see u mh provider for evaluation and treatment and in addition try sleep hygiene and excersize before 4 pm , which can increase u endorphin and help cure mild depressive symptoms
