This happens to a friend of mine from time to time too when he was recently put on CPAP therapy ;-). No answers for our friends from me unfortunately. Only I know that they aren't alone. Sometimes I wonder if there could be a drool detector and a video cam recording so I could watch what happens before, during and after the drool episodes. Do they happen after a good deep sleep cycle or do they happen during fragmented sleep? Might be hard to get funded for a research project like that, but it would be interesting for our friends.

Well, MY friend did NOT drool BEFORE starting CPAP therapy. And didn't even start drooling unitl a LONG time after being on CPAP therapy. In fact, my FRIEND said the drooling didn't start until switched to bi-level therapy.

My friend wears a bib to bed at night! :>D
It works well with the XPAP and the head gear and the chin strap...Quite a "look".
