Nothing much. It isn't like your throat is going to rot away or anything, but I guess that depends on how wide you open your mouth. If you open your mouth as wide as it can go for weeks on end, it is very unhealthy for you for dust and other particles (life forms even) can go in and that wide open mouth probably means that you have trouble time breathing and need medication. Also, it will suck if an insect fell in but I'm pretty sure all these possibilities won't happen to you if you only slightly open your mouth while sleeping.

What happens to your throat when you fall asleep with your mouth open?

When you fall asleep with your mouth open, the air can dry out your throat and oral tissues, leading to irritation and discomfort upon waking. This dryness can also contribute to snoring and increase the risk of developing a sore throat or even an infection. Additionally, the lack of proper saliva flow may affect oral hygiene and increase the likelihood of dental issues. Overall, sleeping with your mouth open can disrupt normal throat function and lead to various complications.


Does sleeping at a lower tempurature make your throat hurt?

Probably not; it would have to be VERY cold to cause a sore throat. A more likely explanation would be humidity; if you sleep with your mouth open, then your throat can become dry if the air itself is dry. Put a humidifier in your bedroom to keep the air at least 35% relative humidity. Or, keep your mouth closed and learn to breathe through your nose when you sleep. It's better for you, anyway.

Can a fan blowing on you at night cause soar throat?

To my knowledge....yes and no. I have always been told not to. When you sleep the fan causes your throat to dry out becoming soar in the morning when you wake up. A regular soar throat is from a sickness, or putting your dirty fingers in your mouth. Same concept with the window left open.
