normally when i sleep my mouth is shut tight & i breath through my nose. but whenever i get sick my nose becomes so stuffy that i am forced to breath out of my mouth to sleep. it is absolutely miserable. idk how people do this on a regular basis. i wake up with my mouth SO dry there isnt any saliva left. my tounge feels like a cross between coarse sand paper & a bath towel. sometimes i even wake up chokin because my throat skin is so dry its sticking together. dose this happen to other people?

    I've found a way around it! I absolutely hate it, it makes me feel like a complete idiot. I've got the flu blocked nose, and sore throat or tonsils so I couldn't sleep last night, then I discovered that if I put the blanket loosely over my mouth and nose, it pretty much takes the pain away so I can sleep, it's like it humidifies and it's not so sharp a pain if you just had your mouth open with the normal air, also clear your nose a little, still have to breathe thru mouth though but it doesn't feel as ridiculous or painful, don't worry about choking you will start coughing if you can't breathe, it was worth it for me.

    You are not alone. I hate sleeping or breathing with my mouth open. My mouth feels so dry after too long.

    Apparently we should breath in through our noses because the nose changes the air for our lungs, I hate waking up with a dry mouth too!! Maybe try leaving a glass of water next to your bed so u can quickly fix it as soon as u wake up

    That happens to me when I'm sick. I hate it too but I wake up constantly so my mouth never gets that dry but I just don't get any sleep.

    I can't STAND to sleep with my mouth open either! I always breath through my nose and like you, hate when I'm sick and forced to breath through my mouth. From my view, this is completely normal.

    I don't notice it when I fall asleep except when I am sick, especially when I do wake up with like allergies the next morning. I didn't fall asleep that way but then I wake up and the first thing I need is water.
