I tend to feel that if you are being awoken in the night and feeling the need to pray for a spouse, that this is not an affliction of the enemy, but more a prompting from God, that something is going on spiritually and He needs you to pray. That the senses you are feeling are stemming from being one flesh with your spouse and the experiencing of maybe an oppression he is under or a Godly sorrow maybe.
I truly believe that as their one flesh, sometimes spiritually, we feel their affliction or emotions. It could be God, urging you to pray now harder then ever, that something is pushing its way through in the spiritual.
Satan does not wake a person up to pray, we can be sure of that.
The battle is exhausting, especially when you are eating, breathing and sleeping warfare. I know what you mean, as I also have had this happen to me. I used to fall asleep praying and would wake up every hour or so and still be praying...literally in my sleep, just continuing prayer, and wake up in the morning still praying. I knew that even in my moments of sleep, which were constantly interrupted, that I had never stopped praying all night long. This would go on for weeks.
My best advice to you in addition to praying, if able and when able, is to put on some praise and worship music and just dance and sing praises to the Lord. There is no better way to rebuke and remove oppression. Sometimes it is hard to motivate yourself to do this because of the oppression, but you have to force yourself to start and you will find that the oppression comes off and it becomes easy and releases you.
May the Lord refresh and renew you every morning in the Name of Jesus.
