I sometimes have nosebleeds while I sleep and do not wake up. Can it kill me?

Unless you are on blood thinners or have a blood condition which causes problems with clotting, death wouldn't be very likely.
If you live in a dry climate area or the air in your home is particularly dry, as happens sometimes in homes with central air and heat, you might consider putting a humidifier in your room and sleeping with the door closed. This may be helpful in alleviating your night time nose bleeds.
Best wishes to you!

I don't think it would kill you if it was just during the night, but if you let it bleed, like any other thing that would bleed, you can lose too much blood and that can kill you. BUT you'd have to lose a TON of blood for that to happen.

no that wont kill you. im sure while you sleep you only lose a little blood. you would have to lose a tremendous amount of blood to cause death, nothing to worry...hope that helps

assuming you do not have hemophilia ( you would know by now) it is incredibly unlikely that you can die from this.
