I'm a bit embarrassed to ask this, but...?!
Question: How do you stop yourself from drooling in your sleep? I'm 18, and I still drool on my pillows. Should I take any medications? Should I do some "exercises" before I get a shuteye?

I'm afraid it's not something you can stop. I do it too and my boyfriend actually thinks it's a bit cute!
It's entirely dependant on your sleeping position. If you sleep on your side or somehow let the edge of your mouth touch the pillow, then saliva is "wicked" onto the pillowcase and keeps coming out. Hence the circle shape it's usually in.
So if you can manage to sleep on your back, you probably won't drool.
Also, if you are a mouth breather you are more likely to drool because it is open more. If you are worried about breathing through your mouth, you should see a dentist or doctor to see if there is a medical issue (deviated septum, sleep apnea, etc.) that can be corrected.
lie with ure head up thats wot i do
Hmmm--not really sure. But when I was 18, I had bigger problems---I was still peeing the bed!
My friend does the same as you but i don't really know anything that may help..sorry!
hope you find a way to stop this
good luck :)
LMAO this question is hilarious, if i had a drink i would have spat it out on my computer screen
everyone drools now and then.
just keep swallowing the saliva and keep your head up.
LOL I love that you asked this! I dont think there is anything you can do about. Maybe using listerene befor bed to dry out your mouth. Good luck
i dont know if you can, my boyfriend does it too and hets the pillow all wet! drinking makes it worse usually though. I wouldn't worry too much, its not that uncommon xx
Lots of us do it, including me, its no biggy really apart from the fact you have to change your bedding more oftern. So don't worry about it.
Yeah heres an exercise: shove a sock in your mouth b4 you go to sleep
sew your lips together. problem solved
Try to get more rest. When you are extra tired it tends to make your facial muscles relax more and you drool.
Swallowing any saliva in my mouth before going to sleep seems to stop the problem for me.
Sleeping with your mouth shut is another solution but it may not be as comfortable.
thats because you breath with your mouth.. practice is the only way..
lol, jesus thought it was funny.
Don't sleep on your side or tummy. Sleep on your back.
When youre sleeping on your side, your face naturally relaxes and smashes itself into the pillow, causing your yap to be agape. making drool fall out. You are constantly making saliva. I sleep with my mouth closed, and I know I'm nearing sleep when my saliva production slows and eventually stops.
Well normaly it is due to bad breathing, you will drool when you breath from your mouth...so whats is stopping you from breathing through the nostrils?
When you solve the breathing you solve the drooling.
everyone does it sometimes no big deal its natural maybe you need to ...... use something to keep it dry
you sleep to little. I use to have this problem! its because your so tired that your facial muscles relax and you drool! just sleep in your spare time maybe eat some saltine crackers to dry out you mouth before you go to sleep. hope this helped.
eat sweet while you sleep)
Hello, There are some people who have a situation where they produce excessive amounts of saliva and that can be a problem such as you describe. Check with your MD as he or she can, if required, give you an Rx that you can take before going to bed that will greatly reduce the saliva flow...And of course the MD just might find an exact reason for the extra flow and have a cure for it. Good luck and I wish you well.
Sleep with your mouth closed :0)
