How do you prevent waking up with a dry mouth?

I wake up every morning and my mouth is so dry! Sometimes it even bleeds because its so dry.
You can try drinking water before you go to bed, and every time you get up to go to the bathroom. Keeping water by the bedside is a good idea too, and what is probably happening is you are a mouth sleeper, meaning you sleep with your mouth open and you most likely snore. You may want to get checked for sleep apnea, or try sleeping on your side or stomach with a pillow designed for that kind of sleep to support your head.

Hi, as a rule, waking up with a dry mouth indicates your sleeping with your mouth open and that means your having a breathing issues and that means your breathing issue has to do with your ability to breath freely through your nose and that usually is a sinus issue. You may need to have a sleep apnea test as well. If I were you I would get an appointment with an ENT Dr. (Ear, Nose and Throat). Good luck and I wish you well.

Maybe try saltwater rinses or fluoride nightime rinse.
