In the 80s the German band Ideal made a song ("Herrscher") about that feeling. Here are the translated lyrics:
In the evening I am the ruler of the world - and you have to greet me! I the science fiction hero - and you lie at my feet! I own the stars, I have the power - you are happy to stand in my light; I am the one who ridicules the world and you all come to see me... ... and you all come to see ME! ...and you all come to see me!
Only in the morning I feel uncomfortable... I'm afraid to leave the house... In the morning I'm small and weak... I'm in agony, I'm lying flat...
In the evening, I rule the universe - and you in my shadow: You see my tribunal - and I will allow you! I own the stars, I have the power - you are glad to stand in my light! It is I who ridicule the world and you all come to see me...
...and you all come to see me! ...and you all come to see ME!
Only in the morning when the spell fades I have to cry when a dog barks at me! In the morning I am... Small and weak... In agony, I'm lying flat....

You sure it's not about getting wasted every day and regretting the hangover in the morning?
Wow! I didn't realize this feeling was so widespread that someone actually wrote a song about it
