I have noticed that I wake up with a very pasty (in fact sticky) mouth when waking up after using the machine. It feels like my tongue and mouth are stuck together with a light glue. A little water gets rid of he feeling. When I don't use the machine (I didn't take it on my recent Red Cross tour in New Orleans), I don't get that problem.

This is different from the dry mouth feeling one gets when sleeping with the mouth open.

Ah yes, I know the feeling.  I guess if you have OSA and don't sleep well, you miss morning mouth.  So now instead of a dry mouth, it's sticky morning mouth.

    IF YOU HAVE A HUMIDIFIER ON YOUR MACHINE-TRY TURNING IT UP HIGHER.RIGHT LINNEA?? THINK WE DISCUSSED THIS BEFORE.MINE GOES FROM LEVEL 1-6.STARTED OUT AT 3 BUT NOW MY HUMIDIFIER LIVES AT LEVEL 5. BUT THEN AGAIN-LAS VEGAS IS THE DESERT COULD BE WHY MINE IS SET SO HIGH. FUNNY WHEN I HAD MY SLEEP STUDY THE TECH TOLD ME THEY HAVE TO "JUSTIFY"NEED FOR HUMIDIFIER-THE INSURANCE COMPANIES BALK AT THE EXTRA BUCKS. HER SOLUTION-SHE JUST SAID I WOKE UP AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS EXTREMELY DRY AND WAS BETTER AFTER SHE USED THE HUMIDIFIER.COULDN'T IMAGINE IN THIS CLIMATE-NO HUMIDIFIER. GET OVER IT BIG INSURANCE COS....
