💤 Drooling in Your Sleep? Here’s What It Might Be Telling You About Your Body

by
  • You produce excess saliva: This can be due to acid reflux, allergies, or even certain medications.
  • You have sleep apnea or another sleep disorder: In some cases, drooling is a symptom of disrupted breathing patterns.

    • 🧠 But Sometimes, It’s a Clue Worth Noticing

    While occasional drooling is harmless, frequent or excessive drooling could point to:

    • Chronic sinus issues or allergies
    • Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD)
    • Neurological conditions (like Parkinson’s or stroke recovery)
    • Poor sleep posture or undiagnosed sleep apnea

    If you’re waking up with a soaked pillow more often than not, it might be time to check in with a sleep specialist or ENT doctor.
