Many things: It can be related to irritation from wearing contact lenses overnight, from allergies, an infection (which should be temporary and cause symptoms all day), or another irritant such as makeup, face cream, or soap.

Probably dry eyes: Try artificial tears to help your eyes stay lubricated as a start. You can use an artificial tear ointment at bedtime. See an eye doctor that can recommend more advanced treatment if the artificial tears don't help. Good luck.
