I've always wondered why one never sneezes when sleeping?

Well the fact is that humans cannot sneeze while asleep.
Sneezing requires a reflex mechanism, wherein the sensory nerves in our
upper respiratory tract, esp nostrils, are stimulated by some stimuli
(mechanical or chemical or other)and these nerves then go to the CNS

apparently we DON'T sneeze when we sleep .. The doo-hickey-whatsi-thingy ( sorry I can't remember the Proper name) that is in our brain that makes us sneeze .. sleeps when we sleep.. that is why sometimes when we wake up we sneeze in over-drive ...
Now where did i get this information:
Libra Sanitary napkins have the strip that you peel off printed with useless bits of information ( well it gives you something to read in the bathroom doesn't it ... )

I've never heard of or experienced sneezing during sleep.
Sneezing is caused by any irritants in your nose and your body's reaction to expelling them...which is highly unlikely when you're sleeping.
Most likely because your breathing pattern is different when you're asleep.

We sneeze with the conscious part of the brain.
