I : I don't know what causes dizziness after sleeping. However, orthostatic hypotension could cause dizziness after lying down for a prolonged period and then sitting or standing up. The effect of gravity could causing pooling of blood in lower extremities which means momentary decreased flow of blood (and thus oxygen) to the the brain.
