Several reasons: If this is summer it could be related to allergy exposure, winter possibly a cold, did you add a pet or change something at home. Regardless you need to see your allergist or primary care to add in or adjust your controller (daily inhaled steroids or whatever) meds.

Controller inhaler?: An increase in nightly attacks may warrant the use of a controller inhaler. When taken regularly (not when needed) they can reduce the number of attacks. Of course removing or minimizing your "trigger" exposures are always something to consider as well. Good luck.
