Winter time: Not sure where you live but getting this in the winter time is quite common. Heaters can suck the humidity out of air pretty fast. This is why patients have more nosebleeds and chapped lips - the mucosa (lining) dries out and leads to problems. Try a different lip balm, you can even try vaseline and apply it 3-4 times a day. Also you may try a humidifier in your bedroom at night.
