Yes it certainly can, this is a result of your brain using a lot more energy to maintain its energetic flow and needing to use the water reserve to cool down from overheating / overworking which causes sweating and inner dehydration. Another cause of dehydration can be a lack of water consumption in general or REM sleep (which is rapid eye movement) this is when the body falls into its semi sleeping state but still persists to lose energy while dreaming, this in turn causes sleepiness during awakening and dehydration of the mouth. So lack of sleep and the wrong sleep can cause dehydration, its always best to drink as much water as possible so your brain can keep up with its water consumptive ways.
