Your skin in your mouth called mucosa sheds naturally in the same way ther skin on your body sheds. Normally, during the day, eating and talking helps the shed mucosa to slough off. During the night when sleeping, these activities are not going on so upon waking, you may notice loose mucosa coming off. This is normal as long as there is no discoloration or sores.
