  yep, from the ch8 variety show....
  
  very simple reason, if you drool, it's because your mouth is open when sleeping! Even my grandma knows that.....
  
  to stop drooling, don't open your mouth! there's many ways....

  I think it is related to some breathing problems... say your nose block... your mouth does the breathing and all...

  There are several known causes for drooling during sleep. Some medications may increase saliva production, faster than a person can swallow while sleeping. So when the excess saliva can't go in, it has to come out.
  
  Sleep posture could also be another cause. When lying on the back, saliva accumulates at the back of the throat and often causes a swallowing reflex that prevents drooling. When lying on the side, however, saliva can pool in the cheek and overflow on to the pillow, or the partner's face or whatever the person's head is resting on.
  
  Also if a person breathes through the mouth instead of the nose while sleeping, there is a higher tendency to drool and occasionally foam (ie. blow bubbles). That usually happens to people with colds or sinus problems.
