If you drool in the sleep, this is what happen
🔬 The Anatomy of Sleep Drooling: What’s Happening?
Before we look at the kitchen remedies, here is exactly why your pillow is damp in the morning:
- 🛌 Deep REM Muscle Relaxation: During deep sleep, your neurological system sends a signal to relax your muscles. Since you aren’t actively swallowing, normal saliva pools and escapes.
- 👃 Nasal Congestion & Mouth Breathing: If you are dealing with seasonal allergies, a cold, or sinus inflammation, your nasal airway narrows. You automatically switch to mouth breathing, which keeps your lips parted all night.
- 🍋 High-Acid Diets: Eating heavy, highly acidic, or spicy foods right before bed can trigger mild acid reflux. Your salivary glands automatically produce extra saliva to neutralize the incoming stomach acid!
