How to stop drooling in my sleep?

The only way your gonna stop is to breath through your nose instead of your mouth.
Start using breath right strips on your nose at night. It will open up your nose to make i easier to breath from there instead of your mouth.

You want to look at possible solutions for sleep apnea (which often have to do with restricted nasal passages during sleep). Solutions that I've heard to be effective include elevating your head with firm pillows (to promote nasal drainage) and using Breathe-Right strips to hold the nasal passages open.
 
I can sympathize with the nasal congestion - do you by chance have allergies? My wife has complained in the past about my sleep apnea and SNORING big time. I talked with my doctor and he believed this was due to clogged nasal passages due to my seasonal allergies. He now has me taking ZYRTEC twice a day and using RHINOCORT nasal spray. This combo is the FIRST thing that has actually worked on my allergies with out side effects (I tried seldane, tavist, and many others to no avail) AND let me breathe freely through my nose ALL DAY and NIGHT!!

My wife tells my my apnea is nearly gone and I no longer snore as much (I guess due to night breathing through my nose now)

Talk to your Doc about the nasal blockage - a nasal spray / decongestant combo may work for you.
 
It's kinda embarassing if you sit in the train, next to a nice chix0r, you fall asleep and then start to drool haha
 
I second the sock idea, but modify it buy using rubber-bands to affix the sock to your face. I think those may be a tad more forgiving than affixing it with duct tape. Either way...its a loose loose situation.

If you call them chix0rs you shouldn't have to worry about them seeing you drool...

 
Chin zits?, do you play football or something?, put soap in your chin strap if you do. If your a skinny guy drooling can be common I hear, my brother had that problem when he was a teen, a change in diet and exercise stoped him from drooling though. Try eating heathy if you don't already, lots of greens will keep your skin super clean and who knows, maybe it'll make you stop drooling like it did my brother. You could always just dehydrate yourself by doing a short run at night as well.
 
I will never fall alseep in class, I just know I would talk in my sleep or even sleep walk, and that would be very uncool. 😱

i dont know how you can stop drooling (i drool but i think its funny) but you can tape a towel to your chin and that should help keep the drool off your chin

This is totally OT to this thread, but: I don't know if this was intentional or not, but (assuming your nick is from the band), you misspelled it. It's Judas Priest.......not "Judist" Priest. Please ignore me if this was intentional for whatever reason.

well they think I r0x0r, so I may call them chix0rs. 😀

I hate somethings, but still I talk like it 🙂
 
I found sleeping on my back fixed this problem

I think that this may be correct. Also get your nose unclogged so that you can breathe properly, an ENT doctor should be able to find the problem. Since your problems have gone on for a while I imagine?, you can also tie a strong ribbon under the chin and on top of the head which will keep your mouth closed until your body is "trained" to do so.
