Dry mouth at night

Hi

In the early days I just had a sports bottle with a straw so I could sip water at night. Got to do it in my sleep. 

Nowadays just one xylimelt tucked into my cheek keeps my mouth moist. Sometimes I can go through a bout of sleeping with my mouth open so I use sleep tape, just a small strip from under nose to under bottom lip....not so often now. I also found that a night guard gave my teeth something softer to close on, rather than grinding my teeth down, helped keep my mouth closed at night. I always keep a bottle of decongestant nose spray in case my nose gets blocked up in the dry air (husband likes to have the window open, completely demolishing the effect of a humidifier) Some people do find a humidifier helps enormously.

Hi, I use Xylimelts during the day, and sugar-free chewing gum was recommended in this group, which is helping. At night, I place 2 Xylimelts—one on each side of my mouth—and also sip water. I have Biotene gel on repeat prescription from my GP; it works well, but only provides short-term relief. 

Hydration and Biotene Gel at night....Xylitol chewing gum during the daytime...ALDI  or LIDL ....inexpensive.
