I'm using a clap..with a humidifier..and I wake up two or three times a night with my mouth completely dry....so dry I had blisters on my tongue this morning...and cheek is stuck to gums..I think part of it could be I tend to sleep with mouth open more when on my back....

And I cant sleep on side or tummy because of jp drain.

Anyone else experience this?

Yes, yes and yes! I thought it was just me but every since surgery I get extremely dry mouth once or twice a night. Have not had the air pressure adjusted yet but will have it checked when I hit a 100 lb loss soon.

So Patrick how have you been doing lately anyway?

I have been the same way after surgery. My mouth is so dry in the morning. This never happened before surgery so I'm not sure if its because I lost some weight or not maybe I need to get my machine settings turned down I didn't think I would need to do that so fast.

I can definitely say that post surgery, I will sometimes wake up with my mouth completely dry -- with my tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth, etc. I know that I have a harder time keeping my mouth shut when sleeping. I've started keeping a bottle of water next to the bed so that when I do wake up this way, I can at least "reconstitute" my mouth.

I also have had this problem after surgery. Some people have to have a chin strap. I actually had a full face mask that I had but never used but I've been using it and it helps.

I had this also, it is because your mouth is open. I am assuming you are using nasal pillows or a nose mask. Last night I broke the cycle and I used the chin strap to keep my mouth shut....No dry mouth this morning. The chin strap is like a big ace bandage that does around your chin and over your head.

If I drink at least a gallon of Water during the day I don't have this problem. The lees I drink tge worse it is.

This makes me believe it's directly related to your level of hydration.

my full face mask works well w/ a goatee --but if I forget to shave my cheeks for a couple days, it doesn't work that great...

I know this is a latecoming post ... but Patrick your photo shows you with a goatee. I can't tolerate any facial hair at all, or else I get leaks around my mask. I wish I could stop shaving and grow my beard back, but not until I get off this CPAP.

I know it's probably blasphemy, but have you considered going clean-shaven?
