How do you stop drooling at night?
This is a natural thing that happens while you sleep and it happens to millions of people.
Insead of lying on your side or front try sleeping on your back. If any saliva does collect in your mouth your auto swallow reflex will kick in. You can consult your doctor and there is the possiblity of getting tablets that reduce the amount of saliva your glands produce but this can often cause you to be very thirsty due to dehydration and will probably end up with you going to get a glass of water 3 or 4 times during the night.
Otherwise there isn't very much that you can do. It will either go away with time or you stuck with it.
Recommendation: get thick cases that absorb the moisture while you sleep or place towel over your pillow and you can just rinse the towel out in the morning.

Second answer
It is a common name for sleep paralysis, a type of nightmare that takes place in low level REM sleep. A person's body is asleep, yet their brain is awake enough to perceive their surroundings. This explains why a person's body has the sensation of being heavy or immovable, almost as if something is sitting on their chest. The fact that they are in low level REM sleep explains why they see all sorts of scary creatures like witches or demons. A good illustration of this phenomenon is Heny Fuseli's beautiful painting "The Nightmare" (1781). Such night terrors are typically reported by African Americans from (or at least with ties to) the south, particularly in Louisiana where it is known as "Cauchemare." The earliest references to this phenomenon in the US come from the Salem witch trials of 1692. The oldest source that I know of mentioning the witch is the writing of an early 14th-century French physician who noted that the common folk believed the Incubus was an "old hag" who smothered adults and children in their sleep.

Why do most people wake up AT 2AM?
Many people wake up at 2 AM due to a combination of factors such as sleep cycles, stress, and environmental disturbances. The body goes through several sleep cycles, and waking up during a lighter stage of sleep can occur naturally. Additionally, factors like anxiety, noise, or the need to use the bathroom can disrupt sleep. Hormonal changes, particularly in women, can also contribute to nighttime awakenings.
