“One shouldn’t be ashamed of drooling, because it’s a natural occurrence. We just have to be sure that we’re breathing correctly and that sleep apnea (interrupted breathing) isn’t occurring,” the specialist added.
In addition, Salinas, in his study, also recommended that the entire population adopt good sleep habits, such as sleeping at least eight hours a day, going to bed before 10:00 pm, eating well, and drinking plenty of water. This is the only way to ensure that sleep provides significant health benefits.
