Do you drool when sleeping?👇

**10 Common Reasons You Drool While Sleeping**

Drooling during sleep is usually harmless, but sometimes it can signal an underlying issue. Here are the most common reasons:

1. **Sleeping Position** – Lying on your side or stomach lets saliva leak out more easily.
2. **Mouth Breathing/Nasal Congestion** – Blocked nasal passages lead to mouth breathing and drooling.
3. **GERD** – Acid reflux can increase saliva production.
4. **Sleep Apnea** – This sleep disorder often involves mouth breathing and drooling.
5. **Allergies or Sinus Issues** – Inflammation can force you to breathe through your mouth.
6. **Medications** – Some drugs increase saliva or reduce swallowing.
7. **Neurological Conditions** – Disorders like Parkinson’s or stroke can impair saliva control.
8. **Enlarged Tonsils/Adenoids** – These can obstruct airflow, especially in kids.
9. **Spicy/Acidic Foods Before Bed** – These can stimulate saliva production.
10. **Natural Hypersalivation** – Some people simply produce more saliva than others.

**See a doctor** if drooling is frequent, excessive, or paired with snoring, fatigue, or other unusual symptoms.
