Many possibilities: Dry throat? Try a humidifier or ocean spray before you go to sleep. Don't drink alcohol or smoke, these activities dry you up. Sleep apnea? Get yourself checked. Does not need to be urgent. Growth, tumor, infection - less likely esp at your age. Good luck!

Sleep apnea: What u feel could be your tongue. As we fall asleep, the tongue commonly falls back and closes the airway. Talk to your dr. About a sleep study. Fatigue, and snoring are common symptoms.
