wd-40 won't do unless your drawer slides are of metal. If wood, uses either candle wax or soap. Rub it on the slide, and then work the drawer in and out a couple of times. You may have to do it two or three times to get it moving smoothly.

Rub a candle or a bar of soap on the bottom of the drawers, and the tracks inside your dresser that they slide on.

Take a bar of soap and rub it over the drawer's runners and the runners on the inside of the dresser. You can use any kind of soap but if it is a clothes drawer it is always nice to use a soap that smells good.

rub a bar of soap on the tracks to create a slippery surface for the drawers to slide

Any kind of oil would do a good job,but if you want to solve the problem for sure,sand the side or edges of the touching surfaces and then put on some wax.

I wash my sticky drawers to clean them of skid marks and other stains

rub the sliders and drawer with a bar of soap.

Some sort of odourless lubricant, I think vaseline should work..but after a while it may get dirt-filled.
You could get metal sliders, like what are on desk drawers. they work, and they're sturdy
