 Hello:
Sometimes when people sleep they mouth breathe and that causes the oral membranes to dry out which can account for a dry hoarse voice for a while, but it should subside within a few hours. Also it is possible you were developing a cold and didnt feel the symptoms until you woke up. However, if the symptoms continue more than a few days then I would advise seeing and ENT doctor.
Regards,
Carolyn
