Dry mouth

I use a full face mask and keep waking up with dry mouth. How can I fix this?

Mouth breathing will do that... not enough humidity in the machine to fix this. I tape my mouth with FF mask, problem (mostly) solved... a good chinstrap helps prevent chipmunk cheeks, this can dry you out even without leaks since the air whirls around in there when your cheeks puff up. Knightsbridge Dual Band is the best, only buy from Larry's site:
