You open your eyes, still a little groggy, and there… surprise: your pillow is damp, as is your cheek. A bit embarrassing, isn't it? Yet, this minor nighttime inconvenience is more common—and more revealing—than you might think. What if, far from being a problem, it was actually a positive signal sent by your body? Let's take a closer look at this natural and intriguing phenomenon.
Drooling while sleeping: a sign of deep sleep?
It might be hard to believe, but yes: drooling at night can be proof that you're sleeping… soundly! When we enter the most restorative phases of sleep, our body relaxes completely, including the facial muscles. As a result, saliva no longer flows naturally down the throat and can end up on the pillow. Reassuring, isn't it? It's as if your body is telling you: "You're finally getting the rest you deserve!"
