Drooling at Night? Here’s What It Could Reveal About Your Health

Why You Might Be Drooling in Your Sleep (And When It Matters)

Waking up to a damp pillow can be disconcerting, and while many shrug it off as harmless drooling, it can sometimes signal something more. Nighttime drooling is common, but in certain cases, it may point to underlying health issues—from sleep disturbances to neurological
concerns. What seems like a minor inconvenience could be your body trying to get your attention.

Common Reasons for Nighttime Drooling

Drooling during sleep is more widespread than many realize. Some people only experience it during naps, while for others, it’s a nightly occurrence. Most cases are harmless, but a range of factors—medical, positional, or lifestyle-related—can contribute:

1. Sleep Position
Lying on your side or stomach makes it easier for saliva to escape, especially if nasal congestion forces mouth breathing. Relaxed facial muscles also increase the likelihood of drooling.

    2. Medication Side Effects
    Certain prescriptions, including sedatives, antipsychotics, some antibiotics, and pain medications, can boost saliva production. Adjustments may be necessary if it becomes disruptive.

      3. Nasal Congestion
      Allergies, colds, or sinus infections can block nasal passages, forcing mouth breathing and increasing drooling. This is usually temporary and resolves with the congestion.

        4. Deviated Septum
        An off-center septum can make nasal breathing difficult, leading to drooling. Severe cases may require surgical correction.

          5. Sleep Apnea
          Sleep apnea causes pauses in breathing, often accompanied by snoring, mouth breathing, and drooling. Symptoms include daytime fatigue or choking sounds at night. Untreated sleep apnea can impact overall health.

          6. Oral Infections or Dental Issues
          Cavities, gum disease, or other oral infections can stimulate excess saliva. Watch for pain, swelling, bleeding, or chewing difficulties. Prompt dental care is key.

              7. Gastroesophageal Reflux (GERD)
              Reflux can make swallowing uncomfortable and increase saliva production. Persistent heartburn or regurgitation warrants medical attention.

                8. Neurological Conditions
                Stroke, Parkinson’s, ALS, Alzheimer’s, or even severe vitamin B12 deficiency can impair muscle control, making swallowing harder and causing drooling.

                  9. Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
                  Nighttime grinding or using dental appliances can sometimes trigger excess saliva. Always consult a professional before stopping protective devices.

                    10. Pregnancy
                    Hormonal changes during pregnancy can increase saliva production, a condition known as ptyalism gravidarum. Stress and disrupted sleep may also contribute.

                      Strategies to Reduce Drooling

                      If drooling interferes with your sleep or daily life, the following methods may help:

                      Adjust Sleep Position: Sleeping on your back can limit saliva escape.

                      Home Remedies: Staying hydrated or chewing sour flavors may reduce saliva thickness.

                      Mandibular Devices: Mouthguards can help keep the mouth closed during sleep.

                      CPAP for Sleep Apnea: Treating apnea often reduces drooling.
                      Botox Injections: Professionally administered injections can temporarily lower saliva production.
                      Surgery (Last Resort): Severe neurological cases may require salivary gland interventions.

                      When to Seek Medical Advice
                      Consult a doctor if drooling:
                      Starts suddenly or worsens significantly
                      Interferes with daily life or sleep
                      Occurs alongside difficulty swallowing, jaw pain, speech changes, or heartburn.

                      Final Thoughts

                      While nighttime drooling is often a harmless quirk, it can occasionally reveal underlying health issues. From allergies to sleep apnea and neurological conditions, causes vary widely. Simple adjustments like changing your sleep position or treating nasal congestion can help, but
                      persistent or severe drooling deserves professional evaluation. Paying attention to this small but telling sign can improve both your sleep quality and overall well-being.

                      I opened my teenage daughter’s door — and stopped in shock at what she was doing

                      I’ve always thought of myself as of a trusting parent. I almost never snoop or hover, and I like to think my daughter knows that. But sometimes, trust can be tested, like on that Sunday afternoon when I could hear laughter and whispers coming from behind her closed bedroom door.

                      My daughter is fourteen and her boyfriend is the same age. He is a polite, gentle, and surprisingly respectful for a teenager. He always says hello when he arrives, takes off his shoes at the door, and thanks me when he leaves. Every Sunday, he comes over, and they spend hours in her room. I tell myself they’re just hanging out, but when the laughter gets softer and the door stays closed a little too long, my imagination starts going wild, if you know what I mean.

                      Pexels

                      That afternoon, I tried to ignore it and just told myself to stay calm and respect her space like I always do. But then curiosity whispered, What if? What if something’s going on? What if I’m being naive? Before I knew it, I caught myself tiptoeing down the hallway. And just as I stood in front of the room, I pushed the door open just a crack.

                      Soft music was playing in the background, and there they were, cross-legged on the rug, surrounded by notebooks, highlighters, and math problems. She was explaining something, so concentrated that she barely spotted someone entering the room. Her boyfriend was nodding, completely focused on my daughter’s math explanations. The plate of cookies she took to the room was at her desk, untouched.

                      She looked up and smiled, a little confused. “Mom? Do you need something?”

                      Pexels

                      “Oh, I just wanted to see if you wanted more cookies.”

                      “We’re good, thanks!” she said, and turned to what she was doing.

                      I closed the door and leaned against the wall, half embarrassed and half relieved.

                      It was then that I realized how often parents imagine the worst when the truth is beautifully simple. There was no secret, just two kids helping each other learn.

                      Will & Grace star Debra Messing faces major backlash for brutal message to Zohran Mamdani

                      Will & Grace star Debra Messing received backlash for sharing Islamophobic memes targeted at New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

                      Mamdani, who is the first Muslim and South Asian mayor of New York, received 50.4 percent of the vote, beating the independent candidate Andrew Cuomo to the office.

                      On the day of the voting, Messing shared on the social media that she cast her ballot for Cuomo because “we need someone with experience.” 

                      The actress further added, “Our city is too massive, complex, and consequential to have someone 33 years old who has never held a job, and missed 80% of his votes as Councilman.

                      “Perhaps with more experience. But not now.”

                      Debra Messing

                      In the days leading up to the elections and Mamdani’s historic win, Messing, who stared in more than 240 episodes of the popular show and became fan favorite, re-posted memes in which she labeled the newly elected mayor a “jihadist.”

                      The account sharing the original meme, Persian Jewess, shows a voter filling out a fake ballot with two options: “A Democrat. Just a Democrat,” and “An actual communist jihadist. A literal Karl Marx-quoting America-hating jihadist.”

                      They captioned the post: “This isn’t just a mayoral race. It’s the battle for Democracy itself. New York City, make the right choice. Vote for Cuomo, Vote for NYC. Vote for Democracy,” accompanied by the hashtag #ZohranMamdani, according to Yahoo News.

                      In fact, this was just one of the many posts she made about Mamdani. In another post, she urged New Yorkers to “vote no to terrorism” and called Mamdani “Osama Bin Mamdani.” Messing also re-shared a Truth Social post by President Donald Trump where he called Mamdani a “JEW HATER.” 

                      Her view of Mamdani appears to be influenced by his pro-Palestinian stance, while she is known for her outspoken support of Israel.

                      Reddit

                      It didn’t take long before people started calling her “racist” and “Islamophobic.”

                      “I truly hope Debra Messing never gets hired for anything ever again. The way she was calling Zohran a jihadist. The day OF the election. Just a deeply racist person,” one user wrote.

                      Another added: “Not to poke fun at a woman’s appearance, but why do y’all think Debra Messing looks like that now? Ugly rots from the inside.”

                      A third person commented: “That was some sort of journey she has posted on her story. I would say meltdown isn’t quite enough of a strong word.”

                      Someone else shared, “I think Zohran has actually broken her brain.”

                      Reddit

                      Mamdani has spoken out about the growing antisemitism in New York, describing anti-Jewish prejudice as “a real issue in our city.”

                      He has denied accusations of antisemitism and has openly condemned acts of terrorism, including the Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023.

                      In his victory speech on Tuesday, Mamdani addressed some of the smears and personal attacks he faced during the campaign.

                      “The conventional wisdom would tell you that I am far from the perfect candidate. I am young, despite my best efforts to grow older, I am Muslim, I am a democratic socialist,” Mamdani said. “And most damning of all, I refuse to apologize for any of this.”

                      Kate Middleton issues rare statement following cancer treatment: It’s ‘really, really difficult’

                      Ever since she has posted the video in which she disclosed her cancer diagnosis with the public, Kate Middleton has remained largely out of the picture and was nowhere to be seen. But the time away seemed to fit her because she got the chance to rest.

                      Today, nearly two years after the diagnosis, she has slowly but surely returned to some of her royal duties.

                      Kate attended the Trooping of Color event, accompanying her husband and their three children.

                      According to royal correspondent Rebbeca English, the entire experience has led Kate and William to get a whole new perspective on life.

                      English says that the trauma she has gone through, changed the beloved princess as a person.

                      “Cancer impacts on your perspective, and what you have seen in the decisions they have made over the last year is that family and their children continue to be at the center of their universe,” a source told English.

                      “Both Their Royal Highnesses have a strong commitment to duty, service, and using their platform for good. But what they are working on is ways they can balance themselves as parents with being the Prince and Princess of Wales.

                      “Everyone is adjusting the dial,” another source said.

                      On June 2, Kate visited Colchester Hospital in Essex where she met cancer patients and spent time in a specially created outdoor space meant to help them recover during treatment.

                      People reported that Kate opened up about her cancer journey during the visit. She explained that the time after treatment was different than she imagined.

                      “You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment’s done, then it’s like, ‘I can crack on, get back to normal,’ but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult,” Kate Middleton said.

                      Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images

                      “You’re not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you’re not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to. And actually, someone to help talk you through that, show you and guide you through that sort of phase that comes after treatment, I think is really valuable.”

                      She added: “You have to find your new normal and that takes time…and it’s a rollercoaster, it’s not smooth, like you expect it to be.

                      “But the reality is you go through hard times.”

                      Unprecedented Move? Sources Claim Federal Indictment Looms Over Barack Obama

                      Unverified Rumors Swirl: Could America See the Arrest of a Former President?

                      In political circles, whispers can move faster than fact — and right now, those whispers are deafening. A sensational claim is making its way through online forums and partisan chatter: that the U.S. Department of Justice is allegedly preparing to bring charges against former President Barack Obama, including treason, espionage, and seditious conspiracy.

                      No official documents. No public statement. Just unnamed sources, speculative reports, and a storm of theories. Still, the idea alone — the image of a former commander-in-chief in custody — has ignited fevered discussion across the political spectrum.

                      According to the rumor mill, federal agencies have supposedly begun “logistical coordination” with the Secret Service, a necessary step if such an arrest were ever to occur. But in reality, nothing has been confirmed. Neither the Justice Department nor Obama’s legal representatives have addressed the allegations, allowing uncertainty to fill the void.

                      Fact or Fiction?

                      The possibility of such charges would be unprecedented in American history, potentially rewriting the rulebook for how the nation handles accountability at the highest levels of power. But without evidence, this remains pure speculation — a political Rorschach test where people see what they want to see.

                      The Real Story — For Now

                      As of today, the situation sits in limbo, balanced between breathless online rumor and complete official silence. Whether this narrative is the first chapter of a seismic political event or simply another flare-up in America’s endless partisan warfare is impossible to know.

                      For now, the truth remains buried — somewhere between fact, fiction, and the fierce passions of a divided country.

                      Woman Kills Husband After Uncovering Disturbing Secret on His Phone

                      What started as an ordinary evening inside a quiet family home quickly turned into a scene of horror no one could have foreseen. Neighbors later reported hearing a scream, followed by silence, before the blare of police sirens broke through the night. Behind closed doors, a secret had been uncovered so devastating that it ended in bloodshed and shattered trust forever.

                      Maria, a 33-year-old woman, discovered a nightmare lurking on her husband’s phone late one night. Hidden messages and private files revealed a side of him she had never imagined. At first, she tried to rationalize it—a mistake, a misunderstanding—but the evidence left no room for doubt.

                      Panic tightened her chest. Her hands shook as the pieces fell into place. Memories of her niece, who often stayed in their home, resurfaced—particularly the night she had cried herself awake.

                      At the time, Maria had dismissed it as a bad dream. Now, the terrifying reality became clear. When she confronted her husband, he first denied everything. His denial soon escalated into anger and aggression. Overwhelmed by rage, grief, and betrayal, Maria reached for a kitchen knife. A scream pierced the night before silence returned.

                      By the time authorities arrived, her husband was dead. Maria sat trembling on the floor, clothes stained, whispering over and over: “She’s just a child. She’s just a child…”

                      Conclusion

                      This tragic incident underscores the devastating consequences of hidden abuse and the unbearable burden of betrayal within a family. What Maria discovered pushed her beyond the breaking point, resulting in an irreversible act that ended one life and left countless others
                      shattered. The community remains in shock, grappling with questions of justice, the protection of the vulnerable, and the chilling reality that sometimes, danger hides in plain sight.

                      Garlic, honey, and cloves – a powerful natural remedy packed with health benefits

                      Mixing garlic, honey, and cloves might sound simple, but it’s one of nature’s most effective wellness blends used for generations.

                      Garlic works as a natural antibiotic, helping the body fight bacteria, improve circulation, and support detox. It also promotes heart health and may help regulate thyroid function.

                      Honey is packed with antioxidants that calm inflammation, support gut health, and reduce oxidative stress.

                      Cloves bring powerful anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects, helping digestion and overall vitality.

                      How to Prepare the Garlic, Honey, and Clove Blend

                      You will need 3–4 cloves of garlic, peeled and gently crushed, 1 tablespoon of raw honey (preferably organic), and 5–6 cloves, either whole or ground.

                      The preparation of this powerful blend is as easy as it sounds.

                      Start by crushing the garlic and letting it sit for about 10 minutes. This short waiting time allows allicin, garlic’s main healing compound, to activate. Next, combine the crushed garlic with honey in a small glass jar and stir well until evenly coated.

                      Add the cloves, you can use them whole or ground, and mix again so that the flavors and properties can infuse together.

                      Pexels

                      Finally, seal the jar tightly and let it rest for at least 24 hours. During this period, the honey draws out beneficial compounds from the garlic and cloves, creating a golden-colored syrup.

                      How to use it:
                      Take one teaspoon on an empty stomach every morning to strengthen your immune system. For digestion, have a spoonful after meals. To soothe a sore throat, mix it into warm water for a comforting tea. If you’re using it for joint pain, massage the oil onto sore areas and wrap with a warm towel for a few minutes.

                      Pexels

                      Keep in mind:
                      Avoid overuse if you have low blood pressure or are on blood-thinning medication. Store it in a sealed glass jar in a cool, dark spot.

                      This simple combination of garlic, honey, and cloves proves that nature often gives us everything we need for better health.

                      2025’s hottest health drink: A natural boost for blood pressure and diabetes

                      By

                      Nowadays, more and more people are turning to natural remedies to stay healthy, and one simple homemade health drink has quietly became a fan favorite. What’s best about this drink is that it uses everyday ingredients and it’s super-easy to make while the health benefits it offers are huge. All you need is soursop, hibiscus, and turmeric.

                      Here’s what makes it stand out, how to prepare it, and why so many are adding it to their routine.

                      Soursop: A sweet, tropical fruit rich in antioxidants and known for its soothing qualities.
                      Hibiscus: Bright and tangy, it helps with hydration and supports healthy blood pressure.
                      Turmeric: A golden root used for centuries, famous for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
                      Water: Keeps the blend light, drinkable, and easy for your body to absorb.

                      What’s more, you don’t need any fancy tools to prepare it, just your everyday blender.

                      Pexels

                      Start by cutting the soursop in half, then chop one half into small pieces. Add a handful of dried hibiscus flowers for their bright color and heart-friendly properties. Peel and finely slice a bit of turmeric root so it blends smoothly. Place everything in a blender with two glasses of clean, filtered water and blend until smooth.

                      If you like a lighter texture, you can simply strain it before consumption.
