Brief Answer:
Sleep Apnea is most likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It seems you are suffering from obstructive Sleep Apnea that is making you tired in the morning.
What really happens is that when you sleep in night and snore, then you don't get a comfortable and sound sleep, making you tired the whole day.
You should get an ENT evaluation done to see for any nasal polyps or adenoids that might be causing the snoring.
In case, on ENT evaluation, no cause is find, then Sleep Study is considered as the only best test to diagnose sleep apnea. In fact, your symptoms are classical of sleep apnea syndrome.
You should also get a cardiac evaluation and arterial blood gas analysis done.
If your sleep apnea is severe, you would require BIPAP in night time to prevent yourself from adverse effects of Sleep apnea syndrome particularly cardiac issues.
I hope it helps you.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
Stay healthy.
