Ever since giving up smoking 4 months ago I have been drinking lots of water as a substitute. About 8 pints a day. It's working really well. But I keep waking up in the middle of the night absolutely parched, with a mouth like a nun's chuff. How can I still be thirsty after all that water? Do I need to start writing a will? Or should I start smoking again?
Supposedly a possible symptom of diabetes. If you can, make an appointment with your GP.
Dry mouth can occur when you give up smoking. Don t go back to smoking. It took me a while to get over it but all well now.Quote:

Daft response but have you recently put the central heating on and closed all your windows in the house?
I'd still check with a medical expert though if you're concerned.
That's the best place to start. Do you snore or have sleep apnoea? Sleep on your back? Overweight? Probably nothing but when did you last have a series of blood tests, blood pressure checked?Quote:

Maybe you need to dilute the water...
It's not a daft response at all. What you're getting at is a lack humidity in the air.Quote:

Could be sleep apnea ? I was diagnosed with this 2 years ago.
