So this one came to me after a miserable weekend after surgery, I had a foley catheter in (its a catheter that is anchored in the bladder with a water balloon and is connected to a pee drainage bag), and in order to sleep I had to connect a big overnight pee bag and put it next to my bed. Now, I’m an active sleeper, I roll around and change positions a ton, so I was terrified of rolling over in my sleep and potentially yanking the catheter out, which would have been extremely painful at \*best\* and probably damaged my insides at worst.
Weirdly though, I slept still as stone, I barely moved for the 3 nights I had it in and I had no issues whatsoever. I’ve also noticed I do this if I fall asleep with my glasses or phone right next to me, I subconsciously avoid rolling over them in my sleep somehow and don’t move around as much.
How does that work? How does an unconscious body “understand” a danger/risk and avoid it?

Speak for yourself
I had a Foley catheter in for weeks, and my dick randomly went “ayo we horny now” and just painfully ate the catheter tube
When get a boner when first wake up? weirdly not painful though,
So apparently our brains can filter out some level of pain while asleep too because if I didn’t have a catheter in I’m quite certain I’d wake up if my boner started eating something as it’s very is painful
Speaking as someone who has somersaulted off the end of a bed while sleeping, and has rolled off the side of a bed into a nightstand *and* a full water glass, your premise is faulty.
