Yes i think thats one of the causes too, but it's getting worse, being a bit diabetic dosen't help either, sweet stuff during the day keeps me awake sipping water all night long.

I look at it this way though, it could be a lot worse to what other people go through.

i find large amounts of alchol have the same effect? but thats me:heyhey:

Yes, but thats normal, mines constant.

The medical name for it is xerostomia, and it can be quite a bad condition.. not sure what causes it (or can't remember), it can be really sore and painful... you can get packets of 'fake saliva' from the doctor/dentist, if you have a pathologically dry mouth, but see if he/she/it has any other routes you could try first, as I can't think that one is too pleasant.

I too get Dry Mouth Syndrome but like someone has already mentioned it is usually after a night on the Vodka.

You could also be sleeping with your mouth wide open causing it to dry up!

Yep. I'm thirsty generally, but even more at night. Sometimes I can keep drinking every few minutes but still feel thirsty. No alcohol or drugs causing it :confused:

I once tried the fake saliva (salava) came in a spray can, tasted awfu and was very expensive, i threw it was by mistake, but im going to buy it again, thanks for the reminder, i had forgotten about it.

I don't find my mouth sore at all, but i could strike a match on my tong in the middle of the night, sipping on water only last about 5 min the start again, well could be worse.

Best get checked out for diabetes - dry moth can be one of the early symptoms.

I too have a dry mouth at night but think it's caused by medication.
The snag is it's beginning to affect my teeth, up to now no trouble as the dentist says saliva protects them. So visits to the dentist were no hassle.
Different story now.

Yes Hazel, it's all conected it seems, dry mouth can effect your teeth and breath, guess it's all down to the medication thing/
