Stop me drooling in my sleep!

[Droolella]

I am a grown woman and I still drool when sleeping and wake up with drool marks around my face! Also wake up with soggy pillows and my DD won’t come in bed for a morning cuddle because she’s put her face on a damp pillow one too many times. Not to mention it’s not exactly sexy.

If you used to drool in your sleep how did you stop? I can fall asleep on my back but always eventually turn over so that can’t be the answer.

Have you recently been to the dentist? Is your mouth and teeth area OK?

Ermmm Ive seen something that keeps your mouth together to stop you from being a 'mouth breather' at night. I assume this would stop the drool but it kind of tapes your lips together so not sure how good that would be while you're sleeping if you're used to breathing through your mouth

@Mumof1andacat i have very good teeth, no fillings or issues so don’t think it’s a dental issue in that sense.

@watyawant I wonder if the problem is because I’m a mouth breather and I can’t maybe train myself to be a nose breather.

It could be that your a mouth breather but also what is your stomach health like? Do you suffer from indigestion, heart burn, acid reflux etc.
Many people that I know that suffer from bad digestion etc, say they drool at night.

That it is worse when they are going through a bout of bad gut health etc.
If you do suffer from this, might be worth trying to sort this out first.

@Lottie2shoes thats interesting, I didn’t know there was a connection between drooling and stomach health. I do suffer from indigestion and get stress related stomach aches, I haven’t noticed if it’s related to drooling but will keep an eye to see if there is a link.
