what to do for dry mouth while sleeping

I am drinking water, gatorade, probably 6 litres or more. When I go to sleep at night my mouth gets really dry(yes I am a mouth breather). my mouth gets super dry, and the tissue in mouth and lips get so dry and sticky, I have chewed off outer layer especallially below lips. My mouth is sore and hurting when I eat, also sticks it is so dry.

What do ya'll do for this probably. I am thirsty because my mouth is dry, peeing off and on because I am needing to drink water to relieve the dry mouth.

Recognize dry mouth problem. Also bad for gums, hence bad for teeth.
SOLUTION
Elastic jaw-kstrap.
Easy and inexpensive but oh so effective.
Take wide-band jockstrap, dismantle it carefully.
Adjust length of waistband so it fits around lower jaw and top of head.
Use remaining narrow elastic for circle around head just above eyebrow level.
Save pouch part for who-knows-what-future-creation.
Take non-stretch bias tape for crossband between mid forehead over top to back of construction.
The secondary bands are to keep wide elastic band in place.
Use safety pins for first construction until you've found the right tension and general fit.
Since using this invention I've had no more dry-mouth wake-up calls at night.

Yea weird thats the word! are you sure it was the treatment that was weird if there now was any treatment at all???

BTW drinking six litres of water every day is way to much, not healthy at all another weird statement among myriads of others.

Wasn´t it him who come in here as a rancher and then suddenly had turned in to a engineer!!!???
