Answer 1

sleeping with your mouth open, welcome to the real world

Answer 2

I only have dry mouth when I wake up if I've been breathing through my mouth at night.

If you're having trouble breathing through your nose, because of a cold or the flu or allergies or anything, that could probably be the cause.

Answer 3

If your nose is stuffed up, or even just out of habit, you will sleep with your mouth open. When you breathe, the moisture in your mouth evaporates. Try blowing your nose before bed, or having a glass of water next to your bed. Hope I've helped!
