Open-mouth while sleep

Question

Asked for Male, 22 Years

I have the habit of opening my mouth and sleeping. I sleep in a way that my body's front portion is touching the bed. There is saliva spilling since mouth is opened. It has caused such an embarassment for me. Can u please suggest me a way to stop this immediately?
