Why do I fart in my sleep?
I have this problem of farting while I'm asleep. I've had several girlfriends tell me about my farting escapades while sleeping. I've even lost a few because of that. The worst time was one time I was taking a real estate course that had about 25 people in it including my buddy who sat beside me. I dosed off in class only to be awakened by him. I asked him was I snoring? He said no but you cut 2 loud farts. I looked around the class and everyone was looking at me with disgusting looks on their faces. Then later on in the classs, my buddy cut a silent but deadly fart while sitting next to me, when the smell hit me I said aww shucks and as the smell hit the others, they all started saying how disgusting I was. Then the instructor asked me to the hall and told me that she would not tolerate such behavior and that if it happens again that she would have to put me out of the class. I could not convince her that my buddy did it. What should I do to my buddy about this?
I moan in my sleep, what should I do?
I actually have an answer for this because I used to do the same thing pretty often while in REM sleep, and it drove my wife nuts. It was more of a really long sigh/moan, and I wasn't aware that I was doing it. Basically, the only way to prevent this from happening is to make yourself aware that you are doing it. If you sleep with someone else, just have them wake you up whenever you do it. It will help you become more aware, and negatively enforce against it.
How can I control my sleep?
A2A kalyani chikanspotIf you're sleeping too much, you're probably not being as productive as you'd like to be. Fortunately, you can take a few steps to change your sleeping pattern. First, it's important to get on a sleeping schedule, so your body knows when it should be sleeping and when it should be awake. You should also learn some tricks to wake up more easily, as well as take some steps to help yourself stay awake during the day.Stay on a routine. Your body gets used to doing the same things at the same time. When it comes to sleep, a steady schedule is best. By going to bed and getting up at the same time, your body will become accustomed to sleeping a certain number of hours at night which can help you avoid sleeping too much. Your body will want to wake up.Make your bedtime mandatory. Set a bedtime for yourself, at least eight hours before you must get up. To make sure you are actually going to sleep at your bedtime, set an alarm on your phone about an hour before. That way, you have time to wind down, turn off the electronics, and get ready for bed.Be mindful of sleep cycles. One sleep cycle is about 90 minutes; therefore, try to plan the amount of sleep you get around your cycles. In fact, if you find yourself awake slightly before your alarm goes off, you should just get up, rather than entering another cycle. Waking up in the beginning or middle of a cycle can make you groggy.Use light and darkness to your advantage. Darkness and light are important to your sleeping rituals — reducing light exposure prompts your body to start producing melatonin, a hormone that makes you sleepy. Light (either natural light from the sun in the morning or artificial light from lamps and electronic devices) will suppress the production of melatonin, helping you feel more alert. Once you get in a rhythm, the darkness will help you sleep, and the light will signal your body to wake up.Get exercise in earlier in the day. Don't exercise in the three hours before going to sleep. If you exercise too close to bedtime, it may stimulate your mind and body, keeping you awake.
Where did my sleep go? It's like my body forgot how to sleep?
Just as a lot of falling asleep at the same time each night is a habit, so can tossing and turning become a habit, too. So as you say, it is like your body forgets how to sleep, if that’s what you teach it. There are a lot of things people do to try to help their sleep, like a warm bath or boring activities. Some use soothing music. You definitely should give yourself the last hour before bedtime just to relax, ending that with whatever routine you want – laying out clothes for the next day, washing your face, brushing your teeth, the same each night. You do need to tire out your body to sleep easily, so exercise earlier in the day is important. The most important thing I found for retraining my body to sleep was to avoid tossing and turning. I also think it’s important not to read in bed or watch TV in bed, though some people make these part of their bedtime ritual. I want my body to be used to sleeping when I lie down to sleep, so if I have that feeling that sleep is not coming, I get up and do something productive, whether household chores or related to work. Our bodies tend to be on a 90-minute cycle, so if you’re too hyper for your bedtime, another wave of tiredness will come in about 90 minutes. So when you feel that, try going to sleep then. If that one doesn’t come, there will be another wave of sleepiness about 3 hours after your regular bedtime. If you have to do something the next day, you should let yourself rest in bed at least 3 hours, but even if you do stay up all night, you’ll sleep that much better the next night. And sleeping will re-establish your bedtime. Tossing and turning will do just the opposite. Both OTC and prescription sleeping pills don’t help the problem of getting your body used to sleeping again. I’ve never known anyone where those were a good solution to insomnia in the long run. Of course if you’re anxious or manic, you need help with that to sleep well. But if it’s just getting into bad habits, you can fix that yourself.
I turn off my alarm in my sleep?
Haha. I have a similar problem. I'll wake up, turn my alarm off, then roll back over and fall asleep. If you want to make sure you get up, put your alarm clock across the room from your bed so that you physically have to move to turn it off. And if it still doesn't work, put a thin paperboard box over it (made out of cereal boxes or something). Make sure there's some sort of way to open it (make it fairly complex... you want to have to think to turn your alarm off). If you're willing to spend money, try sunlight simulator alarm clocks and a flying alarm clock. Sunlight simulator: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sunrise-System... Flying Alarm: http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/ligh... Or, you could just go to bed earlier so you're not as tired. But that's the last option, right? ;) Regards, --Lucien Briscoe EDIT: @crazyskyblue: The sunlight simulator alarm clock gradually turns on to simulate the sun coming up, so your body naturally wakes up when it feels like it's dawn. Attaching an egg timer or something to a lamp will only make you annoyed and, of course, reach over and turn it off. Sure, it's $180, but I've heard they work wonders. If you're looking for a DIY sunlight lamp, a guy made one himself (although it requires quite a lot of programming/ small electronics experience: http://hackaday.com/2010/07/09/waking-up... Just food for thought. Haha ;) @brokenfrog: I like the tripwire-rock idea. But I'm afraid that it would take a week or so, then you'd learn to dodge the rock subconsciously. Hmm... maybe if you had something that tipped your bed over? Haha.
I want to sleep but I can't. What should I do?
Many good answers already, I will recommend what works for me,Create neuro association for your body to get a signal from the mind to prepare for sleep; habitual actions like changing into the sleeping suit do that pretty well.Stay away from technology at least 2 hours prior to bed time.Calm and relax yourself before going to bed. I use breathing exercises through this app Breathe: Energize Relax Meditate Stress Exercises - Apps on Google Play. 5 Meditate breaths do the trick for me and calm me down quite well.Use a sleep aid; like i use binaural beats through Binaural Beats Meditation Brain Waves Sleep, Relax - Apps on Google Play; these are brain waves and help in impacting deep sleep.Hope this helps.
My cousin kissed me in my sleep. What do you think?
I'm a 14 yo girl and he's a 15 yo guy. So we're very very close as cousins. But sometimes we look like a couple even when our family is around. He would do lovey-dovey things to me like put an arm around me, pinch my nose, squeeze my face (like I'm a cute baby), play with my hair, look straight into my eyes, hold my hand, lean his face to mine (like 3 inches apart) just to say something (I knew he was trying to kiss me). He once confessed his feelings to me... I just laughed as if it was a joke. What about me you ask? I just think of him as my very own big brother... So one night we have a lot of visitors sleeping over. We (him, his little bro and I) ended up sleeping in the living room then. I slept next to him and the person in the other side was his little bro so he's in the middle. It was like 3 in the morning when I woke up half asleep. I then felt him moving so I guess he's awake. I just pretended I was asleep. Then I felt his touch. He was gliding his fingers over my cheek, then tugged some of my hair (that's covering my face) behind my ear. Then he started feeling my lips. I didn't move or react so he just kissed me. It wasn't passionate or anything though. It was very light (like I was fragile plus he knows Ive never had my forst kiss) and lasted for like 3 seconds. Then he stopped and kissed me again. I didn't wake up for I didn't want to make things awkward. The next day he talked to me like nothing happened.
My friend touched me in my sleep. What should I do?
If anything I think telling him you know may even lead to new things. If you're both gay and attracted to each other, what's the harm in seeing where a relationship would go? And just for the record, the same kind of thing happened to me a few years ago... One of my best friends whom I thought was straight at the time kind of forced herself on me. It was weird and I wasn't really into it as I didn't like her in that way but she sort of took advantage of me. I've never told anyone because she doesn't want anyone knowing she's a lesbian though. It's a difficult situation :/ Anywayyyy I've gone off topic as usual. Tell your friend you know! He may be embarrassed at first, but once you tell him how you feel about it it might lead to a relationship OR it could be something you can both laugh about and forget. Either way, I don't think it will negatively affect your friendship with him :)
