like Joanna, my salivation is almost normal during the day, so I am probably breathing through my mouth at night.
One thing I have noticed that can make a difference is the salt content in the foods I eat. It seems a lot worse if I eat pizza for instance. Water doesn't seem to have any lasting relief and the humidifier helps a little (I think).
Mark may have a good idea to try about varying your pillows.
