I wake up in the morning around 5:30 with a dry throat. I take a dry mouth lozenge and drink lots of water but I can’t go back to sleep. Any 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.

May I ask if you have any diagnosed sleep issues like sleep apnea or other medical issues? Have you had a recent sleep study?

@nazleer I like others have mentioned use Biotene mouth wash before going to bed and it does seem to help me with my mouth breathing and using a CPAP when sleeping.

I posted a reply to you in the wrong place. I'll try again. I have not been diagnosed with sleep apnea. I take a number of medications for my diabetes.

You can use Xylimelts, recommended by my sleep doc.Missed one night – in 2 years – and had a dry throat that night.
Thank you. I'll try it.

Hi @nazleer, would you like me to remove your posts from this discussion?
No, thanks.
What is a CPAP?
@nazleer – Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is a common treatment for obstructive sleep apnea.
