Morning dry eye?

For the last few months I've had this thing where the vision in one or
both of my eyes is foggy when I wake first thing in the morning. I'm
not sure, but which eye is foggy seems to be related to which side I
was sleeping on. The problem clears in 5 minutes or so, so it's hard
to diagnose. This morning I put a few lubricant drops in both eyes
right away and it cleared, so I'm thinking dry eye.

Any thoughts on what might have brought this on, and what I can do
about it? I mentioned it at my last eye exam, but the doc didn't seem
too concerned and suggested drops before bed. The weird thing is that
I don't think I have dry eyes in general. Since I got RGP's (about 3-4
weeks ago now), my biggest problem seems to be excessive tearing...
although at times I think I do go dry too.
