See answer: Variations in urination and changes in voiding related to position are not uncommon, and often self-limiting and without obvious explanation. Given your young age, it is unlikely related to any serious problem and many times may be related to changes in lifestyle, diet, fluid and caffeine intake, and stress levels. There is increased urine production when lying down, though more common in elderly.
