Answer 1

There’s a reason that first cigarette in the morning is so good – cause you’ve gone without for ~8 hours. One thing I noticed is while I never got up in the middle of the night to smoke, if I woke up for any other reason I would have the urge to smoke a cigarette before going back to bed.
