Is it normal to always pee early in the morning?

Since I started school in the past year, I would wake up earlier than I should to pee. It wasn't much of a burden when I started school, but in the past few months, it was. This past semester, the days I had class at 8 in the morn, I would get up to pee and go back to bed. I had summer school and got up almost everyday around 6 pm just to pee. I drank a good bit of water last night, went to bed at 1 am and woke up at 4:30 am to pee. Sometimes I don't drink that much water. Is this normal? Also, when I would wake up, I would think about my bf for a while though I am dead tired. How can I control this? It's kind of burdensome.
