I had a recent problem for several nights in the last month with the same problem. I concluded that my mouth was sometimes open enough for mouth breathing to dry things completely out (not at all fun) and frankly water is not wet enough when that happens!
I considered a small piece of paper tape to keep my mouth closed then decided that might be dangerous.
The problem seems better now that I changed from two pillows back to just one. Perhaps the angle of neck tilt is worth a try.
Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
