Be careful if you drool at night – your body is trying to tell you the following

A seawater-based nasal spray before bed;
steam inhalations or nasal washes;
an air humidifier to prevent drying of the mucous membranes;
a clear nose often means a dry pillow upon waking!

Too much saliva? Yes, it’s possible…

Some people naturally produce more saliva than others. But this excessive saliva production can also be caused by:

Certain medications (such as antihistamines or antidepressants)
, gastroesophageal reflux (often subtle),
and meals that are too rich or too late can all
trigger this. If you notice that this happens frequently, it might be helpful to consult a healthcare professional. There’s nothing to worry about, but it’s best to understand what your body is telling you (or “expressing” in this specific case).
When should you consult a doctor?
In rare cases, excessive salivation during sleep can be linked to more serious conditions, such as sleep apnea or certain neuromuscular disorders. Some warning signs:

Do you still feel tired when you wake up?
Do you snore loudly?
Do you have restless sleep with frequent micro-awakenings?
Do you wake up with difficulty breathing?
In these situations, it’s best to consult a doctor and consider a sleep study. This simple examination can make a real difference to your quality of life.
