Is it normal to drool in your sleep?
My wife keeps complaining that I drool a lot when I sleep, and it's quite embarrassing. I don't feel anything myself, but my pillow is often wet. Is it normal for adults to drool in their sleep?

Drooling can sometimes happen due to nasal congestion or sleeping on your side, but it is also connected to things like sleep apnea. Since I have high BP, I learned that sleep quality affects blood pressure a lot. Please monitor your lifestyle and get a routine checkup done.
Honestly, whenever I finally manage to get a deep 4-hour sleep, I wake up with a wet pillow. It is totally normal when you are exhausted and your body goes into deep relaxation mode. Just wash your pillow covers regularly!
Don't fall for random internet remedies saying you need herbal teas to stop drooling. It is usually just your sleeping position or a simple blocked nose, but if it is sudden or heavy, go talk to an ENT doctor to get a real diagnosis.
I used to do this and spent nights searching if it was some neurological issue, which made me so anxious! It turned out to be just a mild sinus allergy blocking my nose at night. Try to sleep on your back, it might help stop the anxiety.

I noticed I drooled more when I was sleeping flat on my side after heavy training days. Practicing deep breathing exercises and keeping a consistent workout routine helps improve nasal airflow. If it continues, just consult a physician to rule out any allergies.
