If You Drool While Sleeping Often, It Could Be a Sign of These 6 Health Conditions

Subtitle: Occasional drooling during sleep is normal—especially if you're a side or stomach sleeper. But frequent, excessive drooling (known as sialorrhea) can sometimes signal an underlying health issue.

Let me tell you about the first time I noticed I was drooling in my sleep.

I was in my late twenties, and I woke up with a wet pillow. I was embarrassed. I thought it was just a normal part of sleeping.

But then I started drooling more frequently. I started to wonder if it was a sign of something else.
