but this happens overnight whilst he's asleep. When he wakes up the next morning - he's got dry blood on his nose. This has been happening since he was 5 years.

Epistaxis or nose bleeds are fairly common in children. There are many causes including trauma, fracture(broken nose), bleeding problems (various bleeding disorders, nose picking and allergy).
Nose bleeds are usually not life threatening. The bleed can be anteriorly through the nostrils or posteriorly into the throat.
It is important to visit your doctor to confirm that there is no worrying underlying problem. If there is then it would get treated. If there isn't, well that is reassuring and then simple measures to control it can be tried - pressure, tampons etc.
If it is persistent, then there are various procedures to stop it including electrocautery and cryosurgery among others.

Get him into a doctor IMMEDIATELY!!!
My son gets nose bleeds too. Usually when the air in the house is DRY. ONLY when he visits MY parents in the winter time. When their house is locked up and the heat is up HIGH!!!
Put a humidifier in his room. Have him drink MORE liquids during the day. Keep him well hydrated.
