Honkytonklagoon Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I just came across this: Do people sneeze in their sleep without waking up? I actually think the comments are the most interesting part. Link to comment
King_of_the_ruins Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I know it's possible. I slept with a girl once who sneezed while she was sleeping. I liked those sneezres better because she didn't hold them in Link to comment
atchoum Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 It certainly is possible to sneeze in your sleep without being woken up, for some people at least. It happened (happens?) to my former partner on at least two occasions (these are things you remember, as KoftheR implies!), three perfectly relaxed and full sneezes. How can you sleep after that ?

sneezybreezy Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Whenever my roomate was sick in college she would almost always sneeze in her sleep. She would not wake up from it but I always did. I thought it was amusing but it didn't turn me on or anything. It is possible to sneeze in your sleep but i don't think its that popular, or documented well. Link to comment
Jemmabean Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I recall seeing a former friend of mine, A (I've posted obs about her previously, I believe), sneeze in her sleep a good six or seven times on a camping trip. She was sensitive to smoke and pollen, and had also been sneezing a lot the night and day before... come to think of it, I may have to mosey over to Observations later and write about that....

love_my_wifes_sneezes Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I don't know about myself, but my wife does it everyonce in a while. Link to comment
Lamborghini Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I don't know about myself, but my wife does it everyonce in a while.Not that it's obvious from your name, but you do like your wife's sneeze don't you? Lamborghini Link to comment
Sternuto Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Ive woken myself up with a sneeze before. Link to comment
Just Older Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I've never heard of this. From what it sounds like, it's probably happened to a good number of us, whether we realize or not. That said, I don't have any knowledge of sneezing while I was asleep.... and I don't remember hearing anyone else do it.Would be an interesting experience, though. Link to comment
zneeze Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I'm sure it's possible. Easy way to check: When you're in bed with your wife while she's sleeping, take some pepper and... Link to comment
Feta Sneeze Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 My SO sneezes in his sleep. Not very often, but it's entertaining. Link to comment
Gruft Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Isnt it odd that pretty much everyone who has replied here says that it is possible, and the article says that it is not. I would love to know if he has any evidence, or if he is just giving an opinion (based on his knowledge). The page doesnt really give any references, or talk about the degree of fact, he just says its not possible, because of this... I would like to know how the research was done, not just to watch but its interesting to know how sneeze research is done. Link to comment
Sternuto Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 How can they say that its NOT possible? My God! Someone has cat allergies. They go to sleep. A cat curls up on their stomach. WHATS GONNA HAPPEN!?!?!?! Hmm.... I must find a little girl asleep that has cat allergies and find out! Link to comment
chui Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 behave you, or i might just come sprinkle sneezing powder on you while you sleep! wait.. that sounds like a good idea anyway.... Link to comment
Coral Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Actually both you guys AND the article can be right. Because it is, in fact, only in certain parts of your sleep you are unable to sneeze. It is only in the REM fase (rapid eye movement fase) that the nerve impulses does not move on to our brain. This fase is only about 25% of our sleeping time, and in that fase all the other reflexsive responses are also paused.So, in all other parts of your sleep (the rest 75%) you are actually capeble of sneezing Or (Ahem, Chui and Sternuto) making others sneeze Link to comment

Guest lewesw Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 My husband does when his allergies are bothering him, he usually wakes up after but is sound asleep when the first sneeze happens! Link to comment
Rhomberg Rabbit Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Only one I've ever heard do this is my brother 'Though I'm sure at least some of you would think it's He tends to sneeze in bunches. Link to comment
