Waking Up With Drool? Here’s What May Be Causing It and What You Can Do

Waking up with a wet pillow is something many people experience at least once in their lives. It can feel a bit awkward or even funny, but in most cases it is completely normal.

Drooling during sleep, also known medically as sialorrhea or sleep drooling, usually happens because of natural changes in how the body behaves during rest. While it may seem unusual, it is often linked to normal sleep cycles, body position, and temporary changes in breathing patterns rather than any serious health issue.
