Braxton hicks waking me up at night

Hi all, was wondering if anyone is experiencing this.  I have been having tight cramping, BH contractions waking me up a few times during the night.  I barely get them during the day.  I always sleep on my sides, I didn't have this with my first pregnancy.  They are a bit painful, mostly just really strong tightening, I am not sure what to do about it.  Any advice would be great.  I am only 27 weeks along, so I hope I don't have to suffer through these for the rest of the pregnancy.
