Mouth Dryness
Most people know the uncomfortable feeling of waking up in the morning with a dry mouth. This happens because the body naturally loses water during sleep. In some cases, people experience this sensation all day long.
Figuring out the cause is key. The medication that an individual takes could result in a dry mouth. Check your medications to see if mouth dryness is one of the side effects. Drinking a few cups of water upon waking helps rehydrate the body after sleep.
