I use a throat spray. Either Equate or Chloraseptic brand. A saline spray up each nostril, followed by just enuff Propel or Gatorade to wet the mouth then followed by a spray or two of the throat spray. All kept right at bedside.

I've had a CPAP machine for a while now, but have never gotten used to it and have battled (and abandoned it) off/on the whole time (about 4 years).
