Funny question. (drool)

Post by epark300 » Mon May 30, 2011 3:20 pm

Does this problem exist for anyone else. I notice it more when I sleep on my side. Thought it's kind of a funny question.

Not funny at all. Plenty of droolers and dribblers here.

The human body is an amazing thing--sometimes even funny.

Extract from a very serious and very heavy clinical book on Sleep Medicine ...
discussing CPAP-related side-effects like nasal congestion or dryness in the nasal and oral passages:
"Drooling is likely due to mouth breathing during sleep".
