What Causes Crust In Eyes When Using Contact Lenses At Nights?

I wear contact lenses which are designed for overnight wear. When I wake up in the morning, I have a lot of "crust" in my eyes. When I take the lenses out at night, the "crustiness" is not there in the morning. I don't think I have pink eyes. What else can be the cause?
