The most common reason for drooling while sleeping is because of the habit of mouth breathing. Now this habit can also be obstructive, anatomic or habitual. The treatment will not be aimed directly at the problem of drooling but at the habit of mouth breathing. This treatment will also require your involvement with the voluntary effort to continue nasal breathing as much as possible. Simple exercises like holding water in your mouth for as long as possible and repeating it multiple times in a day will be recommended. Appliances can be fabricated to avoid mouth breathing at the subconscious level while you sleep. The sooner the shift to predominant component of nasal breathing occurs the better is the resolution of your problem. Regards.
