You could try rinsing your eyes with Visine or some other eye wash before you go to bed. It is your bodies way of cleaning the dust and dirt from your eyes.
If it is a persistent problem, or your eyes are sore, or if the gunk has a yellow or greenish color, you could have an infection in your tear duct that may need medical attention.
I used to have that problem more when I wore makeup.
I also put a 2" block under my headboard of my bed to raise it up a little and it seems to help a lot of things.

Its the tear ducts. They are clearing all the dust and gunk from their passages. Its perfectly natural and nothing you can do about it.
