Nerve: The nerve is dying and when you lay down the blood pressure change causes the tooth to hurt more. See the base endodontist.

Fewer Distractions: Less stimuli at night-time for your mind to be focused on as compared to the day time. Also, positional changes can affect the blood flow/pressure to the tooth and cause more pain.
