How does the body pass gas’s when sleeping but contain motor control to the muscles regulating bowel movements at the same time? In other words, how can we continue sleeping and pass gas, but not shart the bed?
Secondly, what mechanism makes us wake up to go the the bathroom if it’s serious enough to actually have a bowel movement (like if we were suffering from diarrhea and sick?). Same applies to urinating? How does the body know to hold it in, but when serious enough, wake us up?

I had explosive diarrhoea whilst sleeping in a hotel in Bali, Indonesia. The smell woke up my girlfriend and then she woke me up. Turns out I had Bali belly from eating the local food/or drinking dirty water.
The explosive shits then lasted another 3 days or so, this meant I couldn’t travel too far from my hotel because I feared I would shit my pants.
Good memories.
