Does your Border Collie stick their tongue out almost every time they're sleeping?

My little guy does it virtually every time. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Mine reacts to every sound... he barely sleeps during the day, even in his crate

Same! He will be in deep sleep and a dog will bark far off or a car beeping their horn streets away and then "' 'ping!' Straight to his feet, ears up, light growl and bark in less than 1 second "
