when I first wake up and rest in bed and for some reason the tics don't start happening until i'm awake for awhile... and I can usually feel them coming. if I stay in bed too long, the clearing of the throat and/or sniffing, and what I call "scrunch nose" where I just, well, scrunch my nose... these start if i'm awake for awhile. oh how I cherish these morning moments because, as we all know, some of these repetitive things hurt after awhile, and it's nice to actually be awake but get a break from them... I do hope there are people like me- who get some "alone" time in the a.m.'s
