My understanding is that morning anxiety is caused by higher cortisol levels and that even something as simple as moving around and becoming active can help reduce those levels.

Thanks for that. I am also on Rx medication (not benzos) that helps but does not eliminate the problem. The anxiety is somewhat subsiding as I get older; 20 years ago it was severe at times with hyperventilation and all that.
