What are the similarities between a cough and a sneeze?
They're both reflexes, and they both involve blasting out a lot of air to get something out of our body. The main difference is that sneezes are caused by something irritating the inside of your nose, while coughs are triggered by something irritating your throat or lungs. Also, coughs blast the air out of your mouth, while sneezes blast it out of both your mouth and nose.

Why might a person who breaths through his or her mouth at night tend to have a sore throat in the morning?
The nose warms and moisturizes the air you breath in. It could be that the cool dry air coming directly from the mouth is drying the throat and irritating it. Alternately, it could be that the reason for the mouth breathing is that the nasal passages are stuffy and mucus from them is dripping into the throat at night when you lie back (post nasal drip). This can be irritating.
