Why are ficus leaves curling?

Anyone know why my ficus leaves are curling? I have it right in front of an east facing window, I don’t usually give it much humidity and I just water once a week when I feel the soil dry out..it’s growing new leaves so seems really happy, so I’m just wondering why the leaves are curling?

How's the humidity? Is it near an AC or heater? I suspect humidity is the cause. Curling leaves is usually A. Lack of water [clearly not the case], B. Humidity or C. High temps [ficus are quite tolerant of high temps however, so I don't think so].

@Araceae thanks I actually put a humidifier next to it overnight and one of the leaves perked up so I’m guessing that’s what it wanted!
