Sometimes people wake up early in the morning because they are use to waking up early. Sometimes people need to wake up early to go to school so sometimes that can be why. Another reason is that maybe people are use to waking up early to go to work. But then again it can also be because there are some people that have insomnia..

There's a bunch of recent articles talking about how availability of laptops and gadgets can affect quality of sleep. By making your early morning routine to "fire up the laptop", you may be creating a 'reward' in the form of brain chemicals (dopamine, adrenaline, etc) which might not be perceptible to your rational brain. Examining the thoughts/feelings that first pop into your head right as you awake, might be a start.
Also, taking time to think through how you _do_ like to wake up, and preparing something else (besides stressful emails) to look forward to, might offer a different 'carrot' that isn't tied to a jolt of stress hormone and therefore be easier for your sleep deprived body to ignore.
If I find that I'm in a bad sleep cycle waking up too early, (happens 4/5 times a year) I try a night taking a passionflower supplement, right before bed. I always wake up feeling like I've been in a particularly deep and restful sleep. I sleep longer the next morning. It takes me a bit longer to wake up in the morning as well however (no chemical hangover, not groggy, but just pleasantly slow to wake up), so if I had a presentation the next day etc I would avoid passionflower the night prior.

Depression can cause insomnia or hypersomnia both depending on the subcategory. Insomnia occurs due to the chemical imbalance throws off our biological clocks so to speak. Medically speaking, our circadian rhythm gets disturbed and there's decreased melatonin secretion which is necessary for the onset of sleep to occur, among other co-occurring mechanisms

That can be for a variety of reasons, for one, could he due to oversleeping reactions. Another would be damage to you're wake and sleep receptors. Maybe even just normal sleeping wakefulness. Or even that you're brain is so used to waking up at that specific time.
