Yes it is.
When you’re eating, your mouth needs to make each bite soggy and slippery enough to easily swallow. To do this, it makes saliva fast.
It would be a waste to always be making saliva this fast. And you couldn’t sleep without it running all over. So instead there’s a “speed control” and your saliva production is only set to “high” when necessary – right before and during actually eating.
