I wonder if you could have a corneal problems like fuch's corneal dystrophy, or perhaps you are sleeping with contacts in and getting corneal edema.  If you have swelling of the cornea it will make it appear as if it is foggy or misty.  I advise you to have a complete exam with an ophthalmologist as soon as possible.
