Around 4am at this time of the year (Free verse) by Nicholas Jones

Daybreak arrives and I am awake to witness it. The solstice is soon and the time is inconvenient. Because this is the darkest time to be awake and the fear is at its strongest I have to find a mental activity to distract me from the light. Oddly this is supplied by watching the sun begin to move and for the trees to become lit. So by seeing the garden lighten outside the bedroom I am able to stave off the fear of the moment caused by the feeling of being here at this time in the light.

Let me rephrase it. No matter how high & mighty mr. Man may feel himself, the daybreak is a cosmic phenomenon and so a mightier one. The way you describe it (mainly in lines 7 & 8, to be fair), it's a rather mechanical happening and it seems to leave you quite cold. But the daybreak is supposed to infuse fear. See what I mean?
It doesn't matter if the hangover has a physical or an alcoholic quality; it doesn't convince.
