Is sleeping drooling a disease? How to improve?

Many people may have had this experience. I went to school as a child and took a nap in the classroom. As a result, when I woke up, there was a big ember on the table, and when I slept at night. Woke up the next morning and found that the pillow was also wet with water. Obviously, these situations mean that you drool unconsciously while sleeping. Drooling during sleep, what's the matter? Is it a normal physiological phenomenon or a warning of health problems? So how can we improve it?

First, sleep drooling

Incorrect sleeping position: Incorrect sleeping position will make adults drool. For example, sleeping on a table or lying on your side. In this case, you'd better adjust your sleeping position in time. Drooling while sleeping may be a sign of illness. Besides, drooling over ordinary people is no small matter. It is not only the sleeping posture and feeling, but also the precursor of the disease. If you find drooling, bickering or headache after getting up, be careful. Because of the risk of stroke, it is best to go to the hospital for relevant examination immediately. For the elderly, drooling while sleeping is more important. Because this may mean that the elderly have already got arteriosclerosis or cerebral thrombosis. Atherosclerosis itself will lead to ischemia and hypoxia of human brain and muscles, and facial muscles will relax. In addition, the elderly's swallowing ability is weakened and the elderly sleep. Therefore, if the elderly like to drool when sleeping, they should go to the hospital for examination in time. For the elderly with stroke risk factors such as hypertension and diabetes, frequent drooling is likely to be a precursor to cerebral thrombosis. The old man always drools aside. This is because if there are many cerebral thrombosis, some swallowing muscles are uncoordinated, resulting in unilateral swallowing dysfunction.

Second, how to improve sleeping drooling

If you want to maintain oral hygiene, you should get into the habit of brushing your teeth in the morning and evening, and don't forget to brush your teeth after meals. After brushing your teeth, rinse your mouth with mouthwash as much as possible to avoid food remaining in your mouth. Sleep well and don't play. You'd better lie down when you sleep. It is best to keep a good sleeping position. Try not to sleep on your stomach or recline in your chair. Please pay attention to dental health. If you have oral diseases, such as dental caries, periodontitis, oral ulcers, etc., you should actively seek dental treatment. Pay attention to living habits, don't go to bed immediately after meals, and you'd better do proper exercise. In addition, it is best not to eat too much greasy and exciting food for dinner.

Therefore, you can't ignore sleeping and drooling. Especially friends with high blood pressure and diabetes should pay special attention. Maybe there is a great health risk hidden behind this little saliva.
