Droopy Tomato Plant

I Have a tomato plant and its about 3-4 inches big, it looks like a fine growing plant.
1.The plant is on a ceramic pot
2.I Put a Watering Globe
3.and Its out side in the cold,
I woke up to look at it and the plant was Droopy I don't know what caused it, if its the cold, over watering or just not enough sun because its morning and the sun had not hit it yet. I took the plant to plain sun and the plant came back to life, what do you guys think caused it.

How cold is "cold"? Tomato plants don't like temps much below 50 to 55 deg. F.

I have 2 tomato plants that look droopy, this morning one was fine, now in the evening....it looks droopy? The wind is kicking up, so I put a cover, for veggies over it to detour the wind a bit, hope that helps!

The other was droopy yesterday...so I re-potted it in a bigger 5 gal container, & used some Miracle Grow dirt, along with watering with Tomato food, it looks better today! :)

Here's a link I found, that speaks of wilting...if this is what it is, might as well say 'good-bye' to the tomato plant :(
