I have the same problem. Bought allergy pillows & no relief. I hear it's typical of asthma 2 be worse when laying down & in the early hours. Night asthma is not well understood but it has 2 do with a few things-the lungs can't expand completely, & the bodys natural hormone levels are their lowest at 4 am, & their highest around 4pm.
My personal theory 4 asthma problems when u wake up/go 2 sleep is that those are the times when you've just taken your preventer meds/are waiting 4 them 2 kick in. They don't work 4 exactly 12 hours nor are we all good at takign them exactly 12 hours apart. If you think about it theres prolly an hour or 2 of time when the medicine is wearing off/being taken so it kicks in again. I found that trying my hardest 2 take my meds EXACTLY 12 hours apart makes a huge difference. I know it's not possible 4 everyone but if you can, it helps.
