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.

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.

@nazleer You wake up in the middle of the night with a dry throat and then you cannot go back to sleep. You are looking to connect with members like @tim1028 @jal333 @johnbishop @lolaemma that have discussed a similar topic and receive suggestions.
You will notice I added this discussion to the Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) group. I did this so you could expand your reach with members and hopefully have a better chance of having your question answered.

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

Thank you for your reply. I have not been diagnosed with sleep apnea. I take a number of medications for my diabetes.

What is a CPAP?
@nazleer – Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is a common treatment for obstructive sleep apnea.

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.

I'm sorry but I can't remember what the drying ingredients in some tooth pastes that my dentist told me to avoid. I just took his advice and started using Biotene products. You could ask your dentist. Good luck.
