does swallowing spit make you tired?

Question

if you swallow your own spit does it make you tired

Answer 1

doubt it.

Answer 2

A common belief is that saliva contained in the mouth has natural disinfectants, which leads people to believe it is beneficial to "lick their wounds". Researchers at the University of Florida at Gainesville have discovered a protein called nerve growth factor (NGF) in the saliva of mice. Wounds doused with NGF healed twice as fast as untreated and unlicked wounds; therefore, saliva does have some curative powers in some species. NGF has not been found in human saliva; however, researchers find human saliva contains such antibacterial agents as secretory IgA, lactoferrin, and lactoperoxidase. It has not been shown that licking your wounds actually disinfects them, but the licking action is likely to help clean the wound by removing larger contaminants such as dirt and may help to directly remove infective bodies by brushing them away.
