I am a 32 year old male. I get up at 4:30am and after I shower and get dressed I brush my teeth. The strange thing is that it makes me gag and I have actually vomitted because of it. Now the stranger thing is, that when I sleep in later on the weekends, it doesn't have this affect. Why? I know this is weird, but has anyone ever heard of this or experienced it.

WOW! I had no idea so many others went through this. Thanks for all the answers, and I do not drink so that's not it.

I have thrown up from this before as well but like everyone else here I have no idea why there would be a difference due to when you are getting up. It could just be that your gag reflex is more sensitive when you are still drowsy...

Do you breathe through your mouth when you sleep? I do and I have to drink a bottle of water before I can do anything in the morning. Before I started doing that, I would have the same problem. My throat gets very dry (so much so that I've even coughed up superficial blood in the past) and not even rinsing my mouth in the shower can help it. Try having a full glass of water before getting in the shower. See if it helps at all.
I don't know about the time difference though. Maybe its that your body is adjusted to wake up at a later hour (as you do on the weekends) and when you wake up early to go to work, you could still be taking deeper breaths as your body is expecting to still be asleep at that hour.

I think you are still asleep and you are using your hairbrush at 4:30.
