Hi, and welcome,

YES - reasonably common,

reason it's worse 1st thing it the battery works harder getting a COLD engine to turn,
once it's been run the oil is a little thinner,etc,

get battery checked,
then alternator output ( all simple stuff)

then move into poor connections,
poor engine earth cable , etc.
