Question
The past 2 nights my husband has woken me up 4 times to tell me that I have been poking him in the side or in the face. Each time he wakes me and tells me; one, it's hard to believe, and two, my dreams have had nothing to do with poking anything or anyone. What is the reason for this? It's kind of odd.
Answer
What you are experiencing is natural phenomenon. Our brains are wired to wake up and go to sleep the same time but sometimes there is a split second so the body doesnt have enough time to get paralyzed and is still awake. So that is why the poking. Its natural phenomenon, nothing to worry about. They are called sleep paralysis and hypnanagogic hallucinations, only if the wakefulstate
is hampered by this does this became possible narcolepsy a sleeping disorder but just once in awhile nothing to worry about, feel free to email again karel. go to sleepnet.com for more sleep information they also have forums that you can read about others that write in. feel free to email again karel
