Mainly because you're dehydrated due to sweat and/or urination. Water loss/gain is the chief reason why human weight fluctuates throughout the day. Don't forget: our bodies are 72% water in terms of weight.

If by slimmer you mean you weigh less, you are fasting while you sleep (no eating or drinking) and your body is still working:
metabolism, buring calories, your body does it 24/7
-and-
water loss through respiration or sweating, this is a bigger factor
(the fancy term is insensible water loss)
So if you are losing water at night, you will awake weighing less and possibly being slightly slimmer.

You've been burning calories (yeah, even sleeping burns some calories) and not eating. Plus, most people weigh themselves after getting rid of the liquid byproducts that have been distilled from your bloodstream all night....
I'm about a pound lighter in the morning than the evening.

As you sleep, your vertebrae separate and lengthen your frame. When you are awake, the vertebrae are compressed together. In some people the difference can be as much as two inches difference in height form morning and afternoon.

I don't think you are!!
When I wake up I am still fat!
What you ARE is taller in the morning after your spinal discs uncompress after the squeezing they got during the day.

Because you gain weight with the foods you eat throughout the day.
