Sleep apnea, a condition where breathing pauses during sleep, can lead to mouth breathing and excess saliva, resulting in drooling. It is hard to know if you have this on your own. Other symptoms include loud snoring and sounds of choking. You will also find yourself often waking up not feeling well rested. Sleep apnea can affect those who live with you as well as your own health, so it is important to consult your doctor about your options for overcoming it.
