Common: 80% of people experience this in their lives. A common cause is dry, hot air like inside the home in the winter, causing nasal dryness and crusting. The nasal tissue cracks and bleeds easily. Treatment includes humidification in bedroom, nasal saline mist/gel, & sometimes vaseline in the nose at night. It's not a major health hazard, but should a doctor. Sometimes cauterizing the nose helps a lot.
