But why should I worry?<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-why-do-you-drool-when-you-sleep\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do you drool when you sleep?<\/h2>\n<p>Drooling while sleeping can be annoying if it interferes with your sleep and not least if you share a bed with someone.<\/p>\n<p>Drooling is perfectly normal for newborns and babies up to around two years old.<\/p>\n<p>But if you\u2019re still drooling a lot later on, it might be worth taking a closer look at what could be causing it.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-neurological-disorders\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Neurological disorders<\/h2>\n<p>Drooling can be due to a number of different things including our sleep position, stress, medication, allergies, a throat condition, to name a few, according to an article in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomorrowsleep.com\/magazine\/drool\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Tomorrow Magazine.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But, it can be for many good reasons such as aiding digestion and disinfecting our mouths.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Cleveland Clinic, several neurological conditions can lead to excessive drooling, including stroke, cerebral palsy, Parkinson\u2019s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis (MS), Down syndrome, and autism.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-is-it-dangerous-to-drool\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it dangerous to drool?<\/h2>\n<p>Sleep position, dental problems, medications and several diseases can all cause you to drool while asleep.<\/p>\n<p>But of all the \u201csleep disturbances\u201d that cause people to drool, it can also be a sign that you\u2019re sleeping well, which in turn leads to happiness.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-what-happens-if-chronic-drooling-isn-t-treated\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens if chronic drooling isn\u2019t treated?<\/h2>\n<p>Ongoing or severe drooling can lead to health issues.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, too much saliva can cause angular cheilitis \u2014 painful cracks or sores at the corners of the mouth. In more serious cases, saliva can accidentally enter the lungs and lead to pneumonia. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to talk to your healthcare provider as soon as you notice any persistent problems.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-indicators-that-your-sleep-is-restful\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Indicators that your sleep is restful<\/h2>\n<p>But waking up with a little drool on your pillow or nightshirt once in a while isn\u2019t a reason to panic. Sure, it can be a bit embarrassing \u2014 and plenty of people feel self-conscious about it \u2014 but it\u2019s usually nothing to worry about.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is that it is very common and it can also be an indicator that you have had a good night\u2019s rest.<\/p>\n<p>During our REM sleep or the Rapid Eye Movement part of our sleep this needs to be uninterrupted so we can enter our restful, deep sleep.<\/p>\n<p>At this stage, certain neurotransmitters are inhibited to avoid muscle movements that would make us run away from a whatever we\u2019re dreaming about that may cause us to respond with movement. If we drool, it can be an indicator that this has remained uninterrupted and we have experienced a deep and restful night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-sleep-key-to-happiness\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sleep key to happiness<\/h2>\n<p><span lang=\"en\">Sleep seems to be a very important key to happiness, according to an article in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-4897358\/Forget-cash-sex-sleep-key-happiness.html?ito=social-facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Daily Mail.<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>Sleeping can, for example, increase happiness levels more than a quadrupling of\u00a0 our salary!
