The moisture is condensation and there are a lot of reasons it occurs but most likely it's caused by excessive humidity inside your home. What are your windows made out of? Condensation can be caused by things like not venting your bathrooms moisture, after a shower, to the outside, having single pane windows instead of double pane, etc.
Raising the temperature a few degrees at night may help. Here's a link that'll show you all the things you can do to combat it.

And just to confirm... The moisture you're seeing is something you can actually TOUCH with your hand, right? It's on the inside of the house surface of the window, NOT caught "inside" the window itself?
