The above is a relatively common physiological change, but many male friends in life suddenly sleep until midnight dry mouth, can not help but get up to drink water, occasionally once can understand, but every day so or body pathological changes caused, if long-term, must consider other reasons for active treatment.
What is the sudden feeling of "dry mouth" in the middle of the night? Or these 6 reasons
1. The body lacks vitamin B
Vitamins are an indispensable trace element for the normal metabolic operation of all organisms, which cannot be synthesized by the operation of cells in their own bodies under normal conditions, and need to be supplemented by food, nutrition, environment and other external supplements.
As the saying goes, medicine is not as good as food supplements, and vitamin intake through diet is the best and fastest way. Once the body lacks vitamin B, the body is naturally affected by implication, prone to dry mouth and dry tongue in the middle of the night, suddenly awakened, can't help drinking water, throat tight feeling.
2. Oral problems
If the patient itself has oral inflammation, gingivitis, periodontitis and other problems, then the probability of waking up in the middle of the night to feel dry mouth and tongue is greater. This is due to the fact that the inflammatory bacteria produced in the mouth can have a certain effect on the body, thereby inhibiting saliva production.
Therefore, patients with oral diseases such as gum disease must develop a good habit of brushing their teeth before going to bed, which can effectively remove inflammatory bacteria in the mouth, thereby inhibiting the growth of plaque and calculus, stabilizing the internal environment of the body, and protecting the health of the digestive system.
3. Diabetes
Diabetes causes the operation of the islets in the body to be uncontrolled, resulting in a decrease in the amount of islet secretion and increased blood sugar, which will lead to a large amount of glucose accumulation in the body.
Therefore, diabetics drink a lot of water before going to bed, and they will still wake up thirsty in the middle of the night, especially by urine. If you are dizzy and bloated in life, accompanied by dry mouth and tongue, you must go to the hospital for blood glucose testing, or diabetes.
If you are too obese, you should actively monitor blood glucose indicators, so as to control diet, reduce sugar and fat, reduce salt, eat three meals lightly, and eat more fresh vegetables. diabetes
4. Liver function disorders
If there is an inexplicable thirst in the middle of the night, it may also be a signal that there is a problem with the liver. It is well known that the liver secretes bile to effectively promote food digestion, help food residue metabolism and absorb nutrients, and carry out effective transformation.
If there is a problem with the liver during this process, then the bile flows against the flow and forms stones in the gallbladder, resulting in bilirubin free and dry mouth and tongue. Once found, be sure to go to the hospital for active examination, so as to treat as soon as possible to determine whether the liver is still in the compensatory period.
5. Hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism is better judged in life, and self-testing must be done. If you wake up in the middle of the night, feel tight throat after drinking water, difficulty breathing, insomnia and dreams accompanied by palpitations, it is likely to be hyperthyroidism.

Patients with increased metabolism of endocrine hormones after hyperthyroidism, accompanied by mental fatigue, limb weakness, rapid heartbeat, and rapid heart rate.

In general, there is Sjogren's syndrome, and dry mouth and tongue occur frequently in the middle of the night and during the day, no matter when and where. And this dry mouth and tongue is not a manifestation of lack of water in the body, but inexplicably caused by rapid water metabolism.
Such people must go to the hospital for active examination, do a good job of targeted treatment, inhibit the aggravation of the disease, and prevent severe and acute consequences of physical dehydration from being dehydrated and detrimental to health.
According to the above, if you suddenly feel dry mouth and dry tongue in the middle of the night and are awakened by thirst, you must actively replenish water, otherwise it will lead to a decline in metabolic capacity, dehydration, and a large amount of electrolytes free, damaging health. In daily life, we should pay more attention to water supplementation to consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, especially green vegetables with roots, and appropriately consume high-complex vitamins to maintain the needs of the body.
