Keep a humidifier beside your bed. You can also use any of a number of dry mouth gels or rinses before going to bed

Hello,
This is a very good question but not one easy to remedy. First, you want to discover what is causing your dry mouth at night. Dry mouth is most often caused by a medication a person is taking. There are hundreds of medications that cause dry mouth. However, dry mouth will also occur from breathing through your mouth while you sleep. This can happen from a couple of reasons as well. If your nose gets stuffy while you sleep during cold season, it is a natural unconscious reaction to slightly open your mouth and start breathing that way. This will make you wake up with dry mouth. First, it is important to identify why you are getting the dry mouth at night, then you can take steps to fix it.
Hope this helps.
My best to you!
