If you sleep on your side or stomach, gravity simply helps it spill out onto the pillow.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Other quiet culprits often join in. A stuffy nose from allergies, a cold, or chronic congestion pushes you to breathe through your mouth, drying it out while also letting saliva escape more easily.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Acid reflux can trigger extra saliva production to protect your throat, adding to the nighttime overflow. Most of the time, this is harmless and just part of normal sleep. But if drooling suddenly worsens, comes with trouble swallowing, or changes how you speak or eat, it\u2019s worth seeing a doctor to rule out nerve, muscle, or swallowing disorders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drooling in your sleep is usually a sign that your body is deeply relaxed, not broken.
