We cough in our sleep and both sneezing and coughing are involuntary, so why wouldn’t we also sneeze?
In: Biology
You can sneeze in your sleep. If you do, chances are you wake up not realizing you have (since you are done by the time you are awake enough to realize what’s going on). When you cough in your sleep, it’s not usally once (so you are still coughing by the time you are awake enough to remember).
[removed]
The body self paralyzes it’s musculature, including the musculature for sneezing and coughing, during REM (dreaming) deep sleep. People actually don’t cough or sneeze during deep sleep. People can, and do, cough and sneeze during lighter stages of sleep.
