A dry cough worse at night may be due to asthma, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and post-nasal drip. GERD can worsen at night when you lie down as stomach contents, especially stomach acid, can reflux out of the stomach and may lead to a cough. Asthma can be due to dry air, cold, frequently present at night. Post-nasal drip can also lead to more coughing when you lie flat.
