I'm not 100% sure it's a Long COVID symptom, but ever since I had COVID a few months ago, I've been waking up in the middle of the night with a coughing fit. Not every night, but a lot of nights. It doesn't last that long and I'm able to go back to sleep, so it's not all that debilitating, but I'm pretty sure it's because of COVID.
I might have the same, but I'm not sure if it's only due to dry air. I'm currently monitoring and logging the humidity, and then might buy an air humidifier.
I also have more headaches, not sure if that's because of getting older (I didn't even have headaches when hungover when I was younger xD).
One way to get humidity is to wear a mask. An N95 isn't necessary, you want to be getting plenty of oxygen in your sleep, but a loose-fitting mask will still hold the moisture and warmth from your exhales. And will stay in place better than just burying your head in the blankets.
I have something similar, and something I noticed was if the air I was breathing was a little cold it made it worse, and a space heater made it better, as well as making sure my back/shoulders were fully covered in a blanket to keep the area around my lungs warm. I'm not sure how humidity affects it but maybe changing that could help too.
