maybe maybe not.........could be just crappy sleep habits & not going to sleep at the same time. I had her symptoms, got a full sleep lab, doctor said I didn't have it.

The reason you have drymouth is because you haven't yet trained your jaw to stay shut...so after you fall asleep you are exhaling through your mouth...and all that excess pressure is drying out you tissues. Give it couple of weeks before you go to the full mask. I have one but only use it when I have sinus or cold issues.

Like my wife tells everybody...it took a while for me to learn to keep my mouth shut..........

Right on again. I will wake up sometimes with the air blowing out of my mouth like a cartoon character. They make a strap that holds the jaw shut, and I may look into it. I still can't get my mask to be completely comfortable, but it beats the hell out of being sleepy all day.
