We have similar hair. Mine is fine and looks flat pretty easily.

1) It's a 10 Volume spray is a MIRACLE WORKER.
2) I fully dry it at night (using the above) and then in the morning dry shampoo if needed and I use a round brush/hair dryer to reshape and revolumize. It's like 3 minutes instead of 20 or whatever.
3) I've also on occasion used big Velcro rollers. As soon as I dry a section at night I put a big roller in close to roots as possible. I use those clamps that hair stylists use (I think duckbill clips?) Leave them in until completely cool (so like 20 mins after I'm totally done drying). It creates such big volume so that when I sleep on it and wake up it becomes more normal volume. But I'm usually to lazy to do that whole process. I do it like once a month.

I have super fine flat hair. I wash it at night and go to bed with it wet half the time. If I have the energy I'll dry it.

In the morning, I use Garnier Root Amp by spraying some into my palm, rubbing it between my fingers and then throw my head upside down and vigorously rub the stuff into my roots. Then I use a rat tail and tease it to look crazy poofy, and then gently smooth the outer layer of my helmet. Once its mostly poofed and arranged, I use a fine setting spray over it in a light mist and smooth the flyaways and baby hairs on top of my head very lightly with my palms. Then I twirl the ends of my hair and the excess spray and product on my hands will smooth those out too. Then I wash my hands and go.

If I run short on time, I roll up to work with tore up hair and do the above process in the bathroom. It takes like 3 minutes.

If my hair starts to feel funky, I usually put it half up in a spider clip midday or use some Living Proof dry shampoo to freshen it up.

I always wash and dry my hair at night with product. My hair texture is much different than yours, but it does also get crazy overnight. In the morning I go over it with the blow dryer and round brush just to kind of reset it and then use either a flat iron or curling iron. It takes me at least 25 minutes to dry my hair so if I did it in the morning I'd never be ready.

During the summer, I tend to shower at night. When I do, I wash my hair and use no conditioner. I will usually blow it dry, and then in the morning, hit it with a flat iron.

My hair is different than yours - fine, wavy/curly hair with lots of hairs on my head - but I always wash at night. I often dampen my hair in the morning with salt water and a little hair oil or coconut oil mixed together in a spray bottle and let it air dry again. That usually gets rid of any weird texture and refreshes the curls if they've flattened out from sleeping and I end up with a messy, wavy look.

@bhbee: I used to wash mine at night when at work. I ended up getting some rollers, I didn't go to bed in them though, I'd shower before dinner and take them out before going to bed. If my hair was still wet or damp I'd give it a blow dry with the rollers still in.

Sometimes I do. I'm a nurse so most of the time I actually shower after work in the afternoon.

I actually don't like sleeping with wet hair, so I don't shower at night consistently. But I used to and still do occasionally, so this is what I do:
After showering I use aveda smoothing creme in my ends, i brush my hair and wring it out then put it up in a hair turban. That helps take out a good chunk of the moisture.

Then I either just go to bed (without the turban), or I take my hair and twist it into a bun, secure with bobby pins.

In the morning, if I've done the latter, it is wavy/curly and then I will piece curl with either my flat iron or curling iron for a beach wave look.

If I went to bed with it damp, I will brush it, then flat iron it, and apply Moroccan oil to smooth.

Or if I'm really lazy I just keep it in the bun
