Why is my period so heavy in the morning?

I usually bleed through my tampon in less than an hour after I wake up. Why is my flow so heavy in the mornings?

Period blood can pool up inside ya while you’re snoozin’, says Dr. Nancy Armstrong, who runs a gynecology clinic in Richmond, VA. And when you get out of bed, it comes out like crazy. How to handle? Just wear an ultra tampon at night and grab one or two on your way out of the house to prevent a period disaster.
