Is there any way to prevent me from drooling all over myself while I sleep? I usually wake up in a puddle of saliva .
Thanks.
YMMV but I find I drool when I am overtired, or sick.
Are you getting good rest?
Try a different pillow, and make sure you are getting good support and ventilation in your room for the best possible sleep. I would limit the caffeine after supper too.
Good luck.
I drool, too, but I don’t drool when I sleep on my back. Then I snore.

There is something incongruent about the about snoring and raw sexuality.
I drool too, and I don’t think I used to when I was younger though I can’t say when I started.
Probably when senility set in 
Another factor could be a stuffed up nose, forcing you to breathe through your mouth.
two words: “Duck” Tape
dont you mean duct tape? or by duck tape are you making some pun i’ve obviously not caught on to? 
i also agree sleeping on your back stops drool, although sometimes if too much saliva builds up in your mouth you’ll flip on your side in sleep and it all comes out, heh.
My drool is also always freezing cold too. 
I may be obvious, but it eventually worked for me (I used to drool):
Keep your mouth closed.
And if you can’t keep your mouth closed, you might want to try using some type of first aid cloth tape.
Less painful upon removal than duct tape. 
I tried the duct tape a few times already, and it wasn’t that hard to remove. The problem is that I somehow manage to peel it off in my sleep, without ever being conscious of what I’m doing. I just wake up with a drenched pillow and a piece of duct tape in my hair.
I have somewhat small nasal passages, so I’m a “mouth breather”… I used to drool in my sleep but I don’t as much anymore. I do snore and always have.
Im sorry but this scene is funny as hell. Might make a cool song. Instead of “you are the wind beneath my wings” it could be “You are the duct tape in my hair”
Jeepers, next thing you know, you’re gonna try and tell me that the thought of a woman lying in a cold puddle of her own drool doesn’t make you horny.
I guess there’s no accounting for taste . . .
Yeah. Stop dreaming about Jennifer Connelly.
You could always have your salivary glands removed…
I know. Not helpful, Nonny. Shut up, Nonny.

Just stay up. You can sleep when you’re dead.
I only drool while sleeping when I’m extremely exhausted or after sleep deprivation…
If you sleep on a ‘flat’ pillow that won’t tilt your head it will help. A block of foam may not be all that hygienic (but is a pillow?), but if you cut out (with an electric bread/carving knife) a notch for your neck your head won’t be able to drain so easily.
Or you could try wearing an Alice-band to gently strap up your chin and prevent ‘relaxation mouth gape’… not one which is too tight for you to be able to open your mouth if needed.
