Even if you brush, floss & use mouthwash before going to sleep?

The actual answer is that when you’re asleep, you’re not drinking water.
Saliva contains antibacterial agents that help combat bacterial growth in the mouth throughout the day. However, saliva is water based, & as such you will produce less when you’re drinking less water, allowing for bacteria to grow with less resistance.
You will also notice bad breath when you have a dry mouth or are dehydrated.
