This is common: This generally occurs when you are in rem sleep and you generally have more rem sleep in the second half of the night.

AM hardon is normal: It is normal to wake up with a hardon in the morning. Your bladder is likely full and putting pressure on your prostate, sometimes referred to as the male g-spot.
