A seawater-based nasal spray before going to bed
Steam inhalations or nasal washes
A humidifier to prevent the mucous membranes from drying out
A clear nose often means a dry pillow when you wake up!
Too much saliva? Yes, it’s possible…
Some people naturally produce more saliva than others. But this excessive saliva production can also be triggered by:
Certain medications (such as antihistamines or antidepressants)
Gastroesophageal reflux, often subtle
Meals that are too rich or too late
If you notice that the phenomenon is frequent, it may be useful to have a quick check-up with a healthcare professional. Nothing to worry about, but it is better to understand what your body is telling you (or “expressing” to you, in this specific case).

In rare cases, excessive salivation during sleep can be linked to more serious disorders, such as sleep apnea or certain neuromuscular disorders. Some warning signs:
You still feel tired when you wake up
You snore loudly
You have restless sleep, with frequent micro-awakenings
You wake up with breathing difficulties
In these situations, it is best to consult a doctor and consider a sleep assessment. This simple test can make a real difference to your quality of life.
