It could be that you are sleeping with your mouth open.

It happens to me from time to,  as I also get sinus problems.  Not really sure if there is a solution but don't have your bedroom to warm.  Central heating is not kind to our sinuses.

I was literally about to post this myself! Yes, it's started happening to me too and the reason is because my sinuses are blocked - but they're not "blocked" with anything, it feels like they're swollen/inflamed so I can't breathe through them which is making me have to breathe through my mouth. This has only started happening around the same time as all my other hormonal symptoms. Is it a known "thing" or do you think it's unconnected?!

Yep. My sinuses are pretty bad atm. Nose can drip like a tap all day one day, then can’t breathe through it the next. Definitely worse lately. Diagnosing myself with all sorts of things - I’m thinking nasal polyps now but probably just hormonal. This is in a long list of symptoms I’m trying not to turn into something fatal!  Health anxiety not great atm either.
