could be any one of several things:
indigestion: did you eat a large meal or eat anything at all within 2 hours of going to sleep? this could cause indigestion and also excess stomach acid, try taking a gaviscon to help.
Rumbling appendix, if it worsens or feels unbearable or even that you cant walk, get an ambulance and go to a&e
Anxiety, it could be your unconciously tensing your muscles and this is causing you to cramp your muscles around your abdomen, take some peppermint tea or kalms pills and try to relax, take up yoga or medidtation to help you to calm down.
Period pains- these can also occur when you are exactly half way though your period, and yopur ovulating, not just when your actually having your period, see your doctor if your feeling too much pain to bear.
Stomach ulcer: did you eat anything acidic before you went to sleep? it may have aggrivated an ulcer in your stomach.
