Q: Sleep-licking

My dog Sophie is a 12 months old, 60 lb mystery mix. My boyfriend and I recently moved into a new house, and ever since the move she has developed a new behavior. All through the night, while we are trying to sleep, she smacks her lips and licks her pillow, her leg, whatever. Of and on all night she makes licking noises. She seems fine, but we have not been sleeping well because of it. Is there any way to stop her from doing this?
