I definitely agree with the advice to post screen shots from sleepyhead. But just so you know, a dry mouth does not mean you are having air leaks. Did the dry mouth disappear when you wore the full face mask?
If it didn't, you might want to try the nasal mask again and then post your screen shots so that the data experts can help you determine if leaks are an issue or not.
Many people on this forum have found this product helpful for dry mouth as an FYI.

Regarding why the FF mask is uncomfortable, it may be hitting an area of your nasal area which then causes more congestion. So you might want to try another full face mask to see if you have the same issues.
Best of luck.

Thanks for the info.
The actual issue I was having was when I wore the full face mask, I felt like I was gasping for air...as if I could not breathe..about every 30 min. I wore this mask for 3/4 hrs for a week and decided I could not wear it anymore. But the reason I chose this option was due to waking up a few times a night with SEVERE cotton mouth. My mouth was so dry I had to rinse out with water which lead me to the conclusion that I was opening my mouth throught the night. Not really sure why as I have been wearing the nasal mask for several years but this started happening a few months ago.
