While sleeping, you burn around 70 calories an hour, more or less, depending on your weight and metabolism. Your body needs to burn calories to function. Also, water is evaporating from your pores as you sleep.

One gravity. You've been laying there for hours. Rather then walking around with gravity pulling you down more and more till the end of the day. (a bath will do the same thing, weigh yourself before and after one and check it out! Water takes away a lot of that gravity pulling on your body as well.)
Two, you haven't eaten in hours! You've been fasting. So there is probably not much in your stomache if at all. Plus we usually use the bathroom first thing and that eliminates more weight. haha

As wild as the idea sounds, substantial medical evidence suggests some fascinating links between sleep and weight. Researchers say that how much you sleep and quite possibility the quality of your sleep may silently orchestrate a symphony of hormonal activity tied to your appetite.
I think maybe it has something to do with metabolism? Hormones? The quality of your sleep itself?
