Rub the tracks with wax. If that doesn't help try checking the wooden tracks themselves for something that could cause that.
The answer depends on what kind of drawer system they are, wood, metal, etc. If metal they may have rust or a build up of dust and lint; if wood some of the material may have broken off or the wood has swollen with damp air.
Rub the edges with bees wax.
try rubbing a bar of soap on the tracks to see if that helps,
Make sure the tracks aren't lose. Rub all the edges and tracks with a bar of soap.
Beeswax, candles or soap on the sides and bottom will help.
Rub bar soap on the runners on the drawers. Soap like Ivory works best as it is soft.
