Dry mouth is not just an uncomfortable sensation. In many cases, it’s the result of several mechanisms occurring simultaneously:
Decreased saliva production during the night
Alterations in glucose metabolism
Hormonal changes related to stress
Breathing problems during sleep
One of the most important factors behind this symptom is insulin resistance , a condition that can develop over years without showing any obvious signs.
When the body becomes resistant to insulin:
The salivary glands produce less saliva
More water is lost during the night
Sleep becomes less restorative
The result: you wake up feeling dry, tired, and exhausted.
