Assuming you have double pane windows, the humidity inside your house is too high.

Using the electronic humidity gauge from my cigar box, by the windows it shows 55%. Is that a lot? I only see the condensation in the mornings, so could it be drastically different at night?

55% is about 5% higher than the recommended maximum, the first website I checked says 30% to 50% is recommended. The windows are probably coldest in the mornings.

The dew point of 68F air at 55% rel. humidity is 51 F.
I.e. if your windows (and the air touching the glass) hit 51 degrees F, condensation will form. Try to lower the humidity in your house.
