[Equipment] Dry Mouth from Full Face Mask

Dry Mouth from Full Face Mask
I came up with an idea that seems to work well. 
Anyone with a full face mask is plagued by dry-mouth during the night.
It is annoying to have to take the mask off to get a drink of water, even if you keep a bottle of water bedside.
Enter my cure: place a hydration bladder next to your head. Slip the mouthpiece under your mask seal or unplug the CPAP hose from the mask and insert the bladder tube/mouthpiece. Re-correct the seal or replace the CPAP hose and your'e all set. Didn't even have to sit up.
Hydrations bladders under $10 from eBay or Ali-Express, etc.
Hydration bladder is like those in CamelBack BackPack.

RE: Dry Mouth from Full Face Mask
I mentioned to my DME not long ago that I was getting a dry mouth through the night and was given a suggestion to rinse my mouth with Biotene (can I mention it here???).  I was told it may take time to have it start working and that I wouldn't have to use it every day.  I'm happy to say that after a few days I was not waking up several times to take a sip of water and have started to reduce the humidity settings.
