Since you know it's a problem you might want to make sure to drink some milk or have a snack with peanut butter right before bed to tide you over and always make sure you eat breakfast. You could even but some packaged peanut butter crackers, granola bars or breakfast bars to have on hand that you can eat in the car on the way to work if you miss breakfast again.

I was going to suggest this as well, it runs in my family but thank God, I dodged it. I'd make an appointment just in case, because what you describe isn't normal for just the standard hunger.
