Dry mouth.: Could be something as simple as needing to drink more water during the day, but there are some medical conditions that can lead to a dry mouth that should be investigated.

Many possibilities: Changes in diet, medication, humidity in your bedroom, airway obstruction, weight gain, insufficient hydration, maturational changes, etc. see your GP. Referral to ENT Specialist, Internist, and/or Pulmonologist may be required for differential diagnosis and treatment planning.
