Re: Dry throat waking me up at night

Hi Terry, I have the same problem along with dry mouth. I use the Resmed p10 nasal pillows and I've been plagued with dry mouth and throat for several years.

Re: Mouth Breather

My humidity setting is at 4, I also use a room humidifier. I have tried turning up the humidity but then I wake up with moisture around the nasal pillows. I raised the hose setting because I read that should be done instead of raising the humidity. I will try lowering the hose setting, raise the hum...

Re: Mouth Breather

Update...I have read all the suggestions and they are very much appreciated. I decided to try the mouth taping and I am now breathing through my nose, no mouth leaks and my numbers have improved greatly, but I'm still having dry mouth.
