Sleep accounts for nearly one-third of one's life. It can be seen how important it is to sleep, but sometimes when you find saliva stains on the pillow in the morning, you will wonder why you drool when you sleep. The following is what I sorted out about why people drool when they sleep. Welcome to read.
Why does sleep drool
First, poor oral hygiene. If food residues or sugars accumulate between teeth and on the tooth surface, it is easy to cause bacteria to reproduce in the mouth, thus stimulating saliva secretion and causing drooling during sleep.
Second, tooth deformity. The front teeth protrude forward obviously. When sleeping, it is difficult for the lips to completely cover the front teeth. There are often open lips and exposed teeth, which is easy to cause drooling during sleep.
Third, neuromodulation disorder. The regulation of salivary secretion is completely neuroreflex. The disorder of neuroregulation will make the brain send out wrong signals and cause the increase of salivary secretion.
In addition, the cheek is oppressed due to incorrect sleeping position, and it is easy to drool when the lips cannot be closed.
Methods to prevent drooling during sleep
First, do not have mental burden. First go to a regular hospital for examination and treat the primary diseases of drooling, such as neurosis and oral inflammation;
Second, we should develop good eating habits. Don't go to bed immediately after dinner. Don't eat too much or eat too much greasy, sticky and other indigestible foods for dinner;
Third, develop good hygiene habits such as gargling after meals and brushing teeth before going to bed, so as to reduce the occurrence of oral inflammation;
Fourth, don't do strenuous exercise or use your brain too much before going to bed. If you often drool during sleep, you'd better pay more attention to your body and adjust it in time.
In addition, on weekdays, you can take more traditional Chinese medicine to strengthen the spleen and kidney, such as lotus seeds, Euryale ferox and Huaishan. If you have no dry mouth and bitter mouth, you can add Codonopsis pilosula. Spleen deficiency generally does not appear alone, or with cold, or with heat, or with qi stagnation, so there is generally no fixed prescription. To regulate the spleen deficiency, you need to ask the traditional Chinese medicine to dialectically clarify for you before the medicine will take effect. Otherwise, although the spleen deficiency has improved, other symptoms will follow, and the gain is not worth the loss.
