Dry Mouth or Sore Throat When Awakening
People who awaken in the morning or after a daytime nap with a dry mouth or sore throat may potentially have sleep apnea. These symptoms are commonly caused by snoring, which causes the mouth to remain open.
When the mouth remains open at night, it can dry out the mouth or cause the throat to become sore. The act of snoring itself may also be to blame for a sore throat, as it can potentially cause throat irritation.
