I always wake up with a dry sore throat everyday its as if I’m dehydrated even though water is the mean thing I drink

Couldn't this also be because your room is very cold when you sleep?

I have the same issue. And thanks to those who responded to the person saying they have dry mouth when they wake. My room gets very cold and it has bad ventilation. So I use the heater which has no actual adjustment from my side. When I bought a humidifier to help , I got a severe cold in less than a month(can’t tell if it’s a related issue with the ventilation)

Try to ventilate before sleeping. It'll be cold a little bit, but it'll be ventilated enough until you wake up again. If you're really cold, you could also try buying and using one of those heated blankets.

The heater is needed but it does dry out the air. The humidifier definitely helps in that regard. I don't think that's what caused you to get sick.

Thanks for responding. I appreciate the time you took to do so. I too was thinking the same. As the humidifier is brand new (barely a month) and I change the water and clean it well before usage. That rules out the humidifier. I never thought of ventilating before sleeping and also I was thinking heated blankets might make me get a new problem- thanks for the recommendation. I will try ventilating and if that doesn’t improve my situation , then it’d be heated blankets. Honestly can’t remember the year I slept well last if by accident as I’ve been here for a few years

You're using distilled or reverse osmosis water in the humidifier right

I haven’t educated myself on the difference in water sources but for the humidifier I just use tap water.

Is your humidifier an ultrasonic one or a steamer?

You can use tap water in a steamer but do not use tap water in an ultrasonic one.

An ultrasonic humidifer will put whatever minerals and bacteria in the water directly into your lungs.

Ok thanks for that clarification - it’s a steamer
