The answer

Intentionally swallowing saliva after it has exited the mouth invalidates the fast. However, it is unlikely that a sleeping person would do this intentionally. If it happens from a sleeping person unintentionally, it does not invalidate their fast. As for the saliva that entered your sister's mouth unintentionally, it does not invalidate her fast, because she thought it was permissible to swallow.
