early morning

Just after sunrise

Early morning is the period shortly after dawn, typically before most people begin their workday—roughly 5 to 7 AM.

The phrase emphasizes how early the hour is: an early morning flight, early morning fog.

It often carries connotations of quietude, fresh starts, or unwelcome obligations: I'm not an early morning person.
