Why do people slobber in their sleep?

Question

My son slobbers in his sleep and I was wondering if there was a medical answer to this, or something, lol...

Answer 1

Im a drooler when i sleep. Its because I breathe through my mouth and keep my mouth open while i sleep. People who breathe through their nose tend to snore more and people who breathe through their mouths slobber or drool. Its perfectly normal.

Answer 2

it could be an over active salivatory gland. but ppl drool in their sleep because they have they're mouth open and the drool comes out.

Answer 3

my daughter does too lol and so do I a little don't tell any one LOL. I noticed from checking on my daughter while she's sleeping that her mouth is open not alot but just enough for the saliva to come down the corners of her mouth. that's all it is I don't think it's anything medical
