I usually am able to sleep for a few hours and then the dry mouth wakes me up. In the middle of the night I use the Biotene oral jel as well, but it only lasts me a couple of more hours.
I did buy a humidifier but did not find that it helped that much. It sounds like a lot of you guys are sleeping much better than I. They say that you can learn to breathe through your nose while sleeping, but I am not sure how to train myself to do that!
