Possibilities: The origin of this cough could vary from poorly controlled asthma to some infectious process including whooping cough. Without more information, exam & testing there is little chance to be more specific. If she is loosing sleep over this she should be seen.

Virtual consult: A virtual consultation may be booked online with healthtap. It may be helpful to review her course, triggers and to suggest treatment. From your description, post nasal drip may be one cause. If she has thick nasal drainage and sinus tenderness, please see your pediatrician. Cool air mist and nasal saline prior to bedtime may be helpful.
