It sounds as though you are mouth breathing during the night.

You could have silent reflux, the acid burning your throat whilst lying down but not when you’re upright in the day. You could try taking some Gaviscon as per the bottle’s instructions and sleep more upright, with extra pillows, by propping up the top end of your bed higher than the bottom with something sturdy. Google silent reflux and see if it seems likely.

Yes, that is one possibility for sure. Another is post nasal drip. If you have a runny nose or sinuses draining when lying down, it can cause sore throat.
