Doctor Explains What Waking Up With Dry Mouth Every Morning Really Means After 60 Every morning your body leaves you a message. Most people read it for three seconds, take a sip of water, and move on. The message is a dry mouth. And the reason water never fully fixes it — never lasts more than a few minutes — is the same reason the message keeps coming back. Your body is not asking for water. It is telling you something else entirely.
