If your mouth feels dry at night, here are 8 reasons why

enough fluids during the day = less saliva production at night. Alcohol and caffeine worsen this.

 Fix:

Hydrate consistently throughout the day (aim for pale yellow urine)

Limit alcohol/caffeine after 2 p.m.

Keep water by your bed—but don’t overdo it right before sleep (to avoid bathroom trips)

 5. Poor Oral Hygiene or Mouth Conditions

Gum disease, oral thrush (yeast infection), or ill-fitting dentures can reduce saliva flow or create a dry sensation.

 Fix:

Brush/floss twice daily

See your dentist regularly

If you wear dentures, clean them nightly and give gums a rest
