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?

Because our relaxed state is a closed butt, but air can slip out easily because it’s just bubbles that don’t require the muscles to force out in the same way as poop. We trained ourselves not to poop or pre at night, and at night there’s a hormone released that helps our bladder to stop giving the signal to eliminate. This stuff happens in the background while we’re awake and it happens in the background while we’re sleeping too. You don’t just chose when you need to pre or poop. You do it when your body tells you
