You likely mouth breathe all most or all of the night which will dry the mouth. Try Breathe rite nasal strips to open your nose more and a mouth closing strap to keep it closed. Just drinking water won't reverse the process. Keep it up and your teeth will be damaged over time. Consider an ENT evaluation if you can't close your mouth to sleep.
