Just thought I'd share to help some others out who are going through that same hell of trying to sleep in the heat, being thirsty all night.

1) Drank a LOT of water during the day - especially in the evening before bed. Yes, I had to pee through the night, but it curbed that PARCHED feeling all night.

2) Brushed and then rinsed with ACT "Dry Mouth" rinse. I didn't wake up with that dry mouth feeling throughout the night, so maybe this helped?

3) Slept with the humidifier on all night. My hair looked interesting this morning, but at least my mouth wasn't dry.

4) Put vaseline all around my mouth before I went to bed, which felt good and helped with the dryness.

5) (sorry if TMI) Blew my nose every time I got up to go to the bathroom to clear my nasal passages to breathe better.

6) Another good tip... put a night light in your bathroom so you never have to turn the lights on full blast, which I feel stimulates me awake too much.

ETA: 7) Thermostat of house has to be set at 65 degrees (LIPA loves me). But, our bedroom is about 5 degrees warmer than the rest of the house for some reason, so it's probably more like 70. I also sleep with a tower fan on full blast.

Good luck! Chat Icon
