Wake up with dry throat at night. Suggestions?

I use Biotene Dry Mouth Moisturizing Spray and it really works for me. I have Sjogren's disease and my mouth is so dry at times that I have awakened to my tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth. I spray and it gets better. I also spray before I swallow pills. It's over the counter. My dentist has told me to use Biotene tooth paste because it doesn't have the "drying " ingredient that other toothpastes have. I hope this helps.

My throat is so dry in the morning, it feels like it’s burning. I suspect I have sojourn syndrome, but haven’t had the lip biopsy. My blood antigen test was negative. Biotene projects never helped me. I sip water all day, but my throat still feels dry. I’m tired of talking about it with doctors.

Curious what "drying" ingredient(s) in toothpaste your dentist was referring to?
I wouldn't say that I wake up with an overly dry mouth --- what one would expect from not drinking any liquid for 8+ hrs.
