Having a good night’s sleep is actually one of many people’s favorite things to do. Moreover, it’s a sign that the following day is going to be good. One sign that you had a good night’s sleep is if you noticed that from the previous night, you drolled. Yes, drooling is somewhat kind of normal because it’s something that is uncontrollable. But do you think that drooling is bad? Or is it actually good? Do you drool while you sleep? As a matter of fact, it actually is a sign of good health.

Sialorrhea or hypersalivation

If you’re wondering, the act of drooling is Scientifically referred to as Sialorrhea or Hypersalivation. This is usually caused by a neuromuscular dysfunction, anatomic dysfunction, or hypersecretion. It’s not actually that bad but problems like you not being able to swallow properly, saliva forming in your mouth randomly, and other embarrassing things may arise. But being embarrassed versus the fact that it’s a health sign? I would choose the latter.

Chronic drooling is often observed in people who don’t have enough control of their face and mouth muscles. Furthermore, if you drool while you sleep, it’s often because of your open-mouth posture or if you’re sleeping on one side.

Sleeping comfortably can either root from a good position while sleeping, the time, the temperature of the room you are in, there are many factors on what can give you a good night’s sleep. However, drooling is something that might not provide a positive feedback from other people. However, it’s actually a surprising sign that you had a good and healthy rest.
