: Dry air irritated the side of nose that was down. Did you turn to other side when u went back to sleep. Blow your nose may help.

Nasal obstruction may cause disrupted airflow. Discuss nasal saline spray and possibly a nasal steroid with your physician. A virtual consult with Healthtap is available.
