Hi, same for me, the dry - or sticky - loofah effect too; it was only my tongue just last night! For me it seems linked to the sleeping meds prescribed me; also how much water I drink before going to bed - I should drink more, avoiding sugar for my last snack before bed, ditto alcohol as an amplifier for the meds: you know, that warning: "Do not drink alcohol while using this medication, it may make you sleepy!" Well, for Pete's sake wha'dya think I'm taking this stuff for?? The didgeridoo sounds interesting, but don't let aggravation at the cheapening shadow of plastic over a gem of an instrument put you off, I'd expect the skills learned on that to be very transferable to a genuine 'doo when you get one.
Anyhow, you encourage me to give the whole idea - a new one to me - a whirl and I hope it works; Thanks!
