Answer 1

Really, just the fact that you are conscious of it may be the thing that helps you stop. Obviously if you're alone it doesn't matter but I can imagine it's kind of embarrassing in company. When you first begin to feel tired or very relaxed make a conscious note to be aware of the fact that your tongue may push out. Perhaps sucking on a hard candy would help so that you remember to keep the tongue in or chewing on a piece of gum. Your awareness is in and of itself a big step. If it continues or seems impossible to control the muscles, talk to your physician and see if he can recommend some ideas to help you in this area.


Good luck!

Answer 2

Not to be funny but how long is your tongue? See if you touch the bottom of your chin or the bottom of your nose.
Sometimes people with longer than normal tongues who are really out of it, the tongue muscles let loose. You can't subsconciously keep it in place.
Could be muscle control issues as well. Ask your doctor.
I have a long tongue and know when I am really tired it starts to find ways to poke out of my mouth.

Answer 3

Hmm, that is strange.Just try to remember to clamp your jaws, or you could wear a doctors mask over your face so you can stick it out and no one will notice.

Answer 4

That's funny. Maybe you could wear a hockey mask.
