I never have problems waking up and I always get 6-8 hours of sleep every night. I exercise and eat [somewhat] healthy. Yet I still have these dream breakers every mornings.

How can I get rid of this morning negativity? It's not something I want to wake up to.
Your bodily state (including your state of mind) definitely influences your thinking (so I've found). At first I thought it was something to "fix" and focus on "fixing" but I found if I let it pass, it's usually all good soon enough.

One of the reasons I don't wake up feeling great is that my matress, bed, and pillow are godawful. Basically, that means I'm not getting very high quality sleep, so I'm not sleeping deeply, nor waking up feeling rested.

You may have a similar problem, and I encourage you to look outside of the personal dev. realm for a more practical issue. We often tend to blame ourselves or some sort of "problem" for the effects we experience, and while this is often the case, usually it's not helpful. It's usually more helpful to see what you can improve to get different results, rather then putting your focus on what is "wrong" (which may not be wrong) and trying to "fix" things that might not be broken.
