I haven’t been able to find any information on this on the Web, so I’m here to ask a rather simple question: Is is possible to fart in one’s sleep? My boyfriend says that it’s not possible because that would mean the sphinchter muscle would have to relax during sleep, which would not be a good idea because it wouldn’t be able to discriminate in a sleep state between passing gas and passing a bowel movement.
My nose, however, knows otherwise. But he wants proof. (I wake him up after he lets one fly to “smell the evidence” and he says it must have been me because I was the one who was awake!)
Is there a doctor (or a Cecil or an otherwise accredited professional) in the house who can confirm this? Thanks!
My fiancee proves that it’s possible to fart in your sleep nearly every night. And no, I’m not joking. Though it’s damn funny when I’m awake, it’s not so… Aw, hell, it’s just as funny at 4 in the morning as it is now. You’re getting information from a girl with a really disgusting sense of humor.
Sorry, but bf is full of flatus! Flatulence during sleep is quite the norm, especially during lighter phases of sleep such as REM sleep, when dreams occur.
Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt. TheLadyLion can tell some stories about me. Once she almost sat bolt upright because she thought it was the dog barking. We have a big dog.
My brother likes his fibre. Once he fell asleep at the beginning of a long bus journey. When he woke up everyone is his immediate vicinity had moved to the back of the bus and you could cut the air with a knife.
Needless to say he was so embarrassed he closed his eyes again and pretended to be asleep for the remainder of the journey.
