If you are dehydrated from 12 hrs sleeping, or taking medications, orthostatic adjustment is common. Low blood sugar also would cause some lightheadedness. SSRI antidepressants are sometimes causers of orthostatic problems.

It is a good idea to sit up and remain sitting up for about a minute or two before standing. If you rush it you may fall, and avoiding falls is a priority.
