Bad, you need to floss. Rotting meat is caught between your teeth. Floss every single night after you brush.

It has nothing to do with brushing. You get that odd taste because, while you're sleeping, you do less swallowing and your saliva production is lower which allows the bacteria that's in your mouth (it's always there, even after you brush, just not as much) to reproduce at a faster rate.

Halitosis is a frequent or persistent unpleasant odor to the breath.

About 85% of cases result from oral conditions. A variety of systemic and extra-oral conditions account for the remainder.

Halitosis most often results from fermentation of food particles by anaerobic gram-negative bacteria in the mouth, producing such volatile sulfur compounds as hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan. Causative bacteria may be present in areas of gingival or periodontal disease, particularly when ulceration or necrosis is present. In patients with healthy periodontal tissue, these bacteria deposit on the dorsal posterior tongue. Factors contributing to the overgrowth of causative bacteria include decreased salivary flow (eg, due to parotid disease or Sjögren's syndrome), salivary stagnation, and increased salivary pH.

The bad breath might not be just from your tooth.if you are constipated and if your liver function is impaired then also you get bad breath.Initially you can brush your teeth and see.if the bad breath disapperas than it is ok .If not,you should take care of the problem in your stomach.

Just brush your teeth when you get up; you might also consider tougue scrapers to help with the bacterial growth.
