Sleeping on a satin pillowcase will create less friction than using a cotton pillowcase. That's great if you want to maintain your hairstyle for a couple of days without it going frizzy, and it's also great for curly hair.

Try braiding your hair before you go to bed. It can be super helpful to wake up and your hair will be less knotty. You can also use a brush and simple detangler.

You can still take measures to prevent bedhead, such as brushing your hair before sleep and using a humidifier to keep your room humid. They might not be as effective though.

It depends on your hair type, length, and how tangled it is. For many it takes five minutes or less.
