Asthma symptoms you might notice at night include:
- Cough.
- Wheeze.
- Shortness of breath.
- Difficulty getting to sleep.
- Poor quality , un-refreshing , fragmented sleep.
- Wakening earlier.
All of these cause you to have a bad night and can be very frightening, and results in an increase in day time sleepiness. This can be called ‘nocturnal asthma’.
