Sleep apnea: Waking up with a dry mouth is a sign that you are mouth breathing during sleep. You may have nasal congestion, be a snorer, or have a more serious condition called obstructive sleep apnea. You can try decongestants and nasal strips to see if they alleviate the problem. If not you need to see a dentist that treats patients with osa, or have your medical doctor order a sleep study.
