Why do I sometimes have a sore throat right when I wake up but then it goes away on its own after a while?

I woke up, thinking that I should drink some tea to help me throat. But now, I haven't even had tea yet and my sore throat is gone.

Heavy mouth breathing dries out your throat while you are sleeping. Try a humidifier in your room when you go to sleep.

Before I fall asleep, I feel like I'm mainly breathing through my nose, but I suppose it's possible I'm breathing through my mouth when once I fall asleep

That is usually what happens. your nose starts to dry out and then your mouth takes over.. Been dealing with this issue for a long time. put a humidifier in My bedroom and turn it on high before bed time, then down to low when I go to sleep so it is not so loud. Made thing much better. where I live humidity is very low in the winter so even worse. Good luck.
