Carol - When my son was at the "dry mouth" point, someone on this forum suggested getting a plant mister or a small spray bottle. My son liked the plant mister better because of the finer spray. He kept it by his bed so that when he woke up he could spray his mouth without too much effort and get back to sleep. My son spent quite a few nights on the couch propped up on several pillows. Later he used several large couch pillows at the head of his bed. "Stoppers 4 dry Mouth" helped a lot, too but the pharmacist told me a while back that that was being discontinued because of some similarities in their formula to the Biotene products. You can get Biotene products at Walgreen's.
