If your CPAP mask doesn't fit right, it can cause a poor air seal around your face, which can create air leaks that dry out your airways and make your throat feel scratchy and sore.

I remember having the same issue, I highly recommend adding a humidifier to your room. Also, drinking water prior to going to bed helps! I suggest having a glass by your side in case you wake up at night with a dry mouth.
