You should change a tampon when it gets full, but never more than 8 hours. If you sleep more than 8 hours, sleep with a pad to be safe. You can get toxic shock syndrome. Its rare, but possible. Best to be careful

You should change every 4 to 8 hours. It depends on how heavy and the asorbancy you are using. It is ok to wear one through the night, but put a pad on too just to be sure. Its no fun getting up in the morning and finding out the tampon wasn't enough.
Also, it is good you can ask your mom questions. Maybe take a break and ask her somemore tomorrow.

You won't get much rest waking up every 4 hours, now would you?
