I would not recommend sleeping with wet hair, it seems like the styling products are only on the ends. After washing your hair, put the product on wet hair, and make sure you brush it well to distribute the hair products evenly from root to tip. I would then use a diffuser to dry your hair. Try using uncle funky's daughter curly magic curl stimulator instead of Shea moisture curl smoothie. Also use a clarifying shampoo from time to time because shea moisture can create too much buildup and dryness.

I’d be curious to see if maybe it was too high in an item your hair didn’t like (drying, protein, aloe, coconut). Since lots of gels act like you described on my hair (gross feeling, drying) but the ones that work - don’t do that to me. For example a lot of popular ones suggested here just don’t work for me bounce curl, miss jessies, uncle funky, nym hard hold, zotos (sally beauty), and most drugstore stuff tbh. The only ones that I found work after trying hair products for a while are briogeo, the verb foaming gel (old formula), ag foaming gel. I also like the pattern mousse and the leave in (which also has hold). In the beginning of my journey - my hair sucked and every gel I tried just sucked lol. It’s been 4 years and only this year have I found my products lol
