Knots in your hair?

I have long thin brown wavy hair and if i go outside five seconds i have a knot in my hair. Then I take a shower and brush out the knots. Does the work or does it make me lose hair. My mom said also not to braid my hair at night before i go o sleep cause it will make more knots. She says to sleep with my hair down. With me, it's the opposite. I don't know what to do!!!!!!!!!
