Best Answer

The mucous membranes get dry when sleeping with the mouth open. A dry mouth permits bacteria on the teeth and gums to multiply, so the person can end up with more tooth decay. Also the throat can get sore, especially during winter when the furnace is operating. Dry heat that produces more dry mouth can affect the sinuses as well and can cause nasal congestion. Lastly, most people who sleep with the mouth open will drool some on the pillow rather than swallowing during sleep.

Why do you dribble in your sleep?

One generally drools when they are asleep because they are not consciously swallowing. When one is awake, excess saliva is swallowed, but when asleep, this process does not occur as often. Therefore, anyone who sleeps with their mouth open has the tendency to drool, especially if they are a heavy sleeper. If the drooling is excessive, and causes interruptions of your sleep, there are medications which may help. Talk with your doctor if you feel treatment is needed.
