the average healthy guy gets erect every 45 mintutes or so while asleep. It goes up then goes down, rests a while and repeats. The morning erection is actually just the last one in the series and probably hasn't lasted all that long - maybe 10 or 15 minutes tops.
as for determining how long each nocturnal erection lasts you'd need a device that records them (without waking you up of course since you do want to have a good night's sleep). Now there's a challenge for some intentor - hehe.

An erection that occurs during your sleep is one that has occurred naturally, ie, without any chemical help of any type. Your body will do this a few times a night, and you will either lose that erection or have a nocturnal emission (wet dream). Your body doesn't have the time for an erection of 4 hours or more.
Basically, your body is doing this in order to make certain that everything and stays in good working order. A 4-hr erection isn't good working order.
Don't worry about it.

I have no idea how old you might be but if this is the first time you have a woken and notivced you have an erection it is usually "NORMAL" for most men/boys to wake up with an erection. They say most men/boys have an erection every 20(??) seconds they are sleeping.

no.
almost all men wake up with erections every day. this usually goes away within a few minutes after you get up out of bed. many guys I know either have to wait for it to go away before they urinate for the first time of the day, or they have to press the penis down towards the bowl. after that, the erection should go away.
the only time one should worry about erections lasting a long time (4 hours...) is if they're using E.D. (erectile disfunction) drugs, like Viagra, Cialis, or Levitra. if you took any of those and 4 hours later (after sexual activity), you are still awake and still hard, call your doctor.
otherwise, you're probably fine.

this one's easy, never sleep over 3.5 hours. then you're always safe.
then, remove the erection and sleep another 3.5 hours.
a side benefit of this therapy is increased muscle tone.

You need to go to the emergency room immediately. You have some screws loose that need to be tightened up.
