Brief Answer:
Due to the concentration of the urine

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

The urine in the morning is concentrated. Though persons may get up during the night to urinate , most do not urinate as much at night as during the day.

In addition, most persons do not drink at night so this also contributes to the concentration of the urine.

Concentrated urine has a stronger odor than urine that is not as concentrated.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions.
