Dry mouth means you are mouth breathing. No amount of humidity will compensate for that, it is designed for nasal passages. This is not a therapy problem if you use a full face mask, however it will become a dental problem if not addressed eventually. Get used to sleeping comfortably with the mask and then get onto the dry mouth issue.

4 nights is nothing. Just remember that you are "unlearning" years of sleep habits and learning new ones.

My first week was hell, and the second week I caught a cold!

It takes time to get used to the machine and mask. Some people take longer.

Be patient. Don't fight it.
