I know it sounds silly or inane, but I'm honestly curious! *chuckle* Why is it that for many people, we drool while asleep, if our head is turned to one side or the other and our mouth opens while we're sleeping? I've noticed it's the worst if I sleep on my stomach, but it sometimes also happens when I'm on my side.
I know our mouths always have SOME saliva in them, but why do our mouths make so much of it if we're not doing things that really need it, such as eating or talking? I would expect saliva production would get LESS while we're sleeping, but it doesn't seem to be that way. *blush* Anyone know why? Also, anyone have any remedies? I've thought of taking an antihistimine before bed, but that tends to dry me out TOO much.
