I too find that the orajel helps me at night, at least for a few hours at a time. I just bought a humidifier and have been using it for a couple of nights and am not sure yet if it makes much difference. Houston is usually such a humid city, although the air conditioning by definition dehumidifies, but until this week we have had unusually cold and dry weather.
