Excess Saliva: Could it be the toothpaste or mouthwash you are using before you go to bed? Do you have any special snacks a few hours before bedtime? Do you watch food commercials on tv right before bedtime? I am not sure if there is a medical reason for this, so consider the above and if no improvement please discuss with your medical doctor.

More relaxed: When you are stressed, you will have a dry mouth. When you are relaxed the saliva will flow easier.
