Yep, think it's because I've become a snorer.  ;)

Hi Janine,

Yes I get this occasionally. I'm surprised I haven't had it more in the last two weeks as I've had a real stinker of a cold.
I usually keep a glass of water next to my bed to help if I waken with a completed dried out tongue.

I do have it, too. And my tongue feels swallen at times. Havent had this for a long time but it appeared today. Also dry skin and dry eyes. Makes me think it must be a temp dip in estrogen ( or the opposite) because I feel jerky and nervous too.
