You need a maintenance medication my friend. Your asthma is not controlled.

I doubt you’re sleeping well and getting proper rest, but sleeping is often a route to relief from various symptoms. Exhaustion does funny things to the body.

Could also be partially anxiety, which can make asthma worse, and sleeping temporarily turns that anxiety off.
