Do you sleep with your mouth open? This can dry out the mouth and leave a funny taste because the washing action of the saliva slows down at night and more so if you are a "mouth breather". It's the bacteria in your mouth not being washed away that can cause the odour/taste. The other possibility is gastro-intestinal reflux? Most people have "morning" breath so just ensure you brush thoroughly before bed & floss too (dont forget to brush your tongue - gently though or you'll damage your taste buds) and brush when you wake up. Try a mouthwash if you like. Also keep your fluids up.

Try using some anti-bacterial stuff before bed and always make sure you brush your teeth and floss them before going to bed at night.
It might also be a good idea to go see your dentist because you might need to have a professional clean, or something - they could also give you some tips how to stop the taste.
Also I find that if I stop eating around 7pm, and only drink water and clean my teeth at 7pm-ish, than I don't have a bad taste in the morning.
But it is really common, so don't stress. :)

Be sure you not only brush your teeth but also brush your tongue and floss at bedtime. You may also be having sinus problems that contribute to the problem. I would advise a visit to your dentist for an exam and cleaning and a better answer.

Try brushing/scraping your tongue and rinsing with mouthwash before going to bed.

Probably because all the bacteria builds up in your mouth all night.

You could have a rotten tooth. It usually produces a rotten acid like taste. go see your dentist ASAP.

Do you smoke? Smoking can cause this... If not then make sure you clean your tongue as well, thats where a LOT of bacteria are.
