Why do I fart in my sleep?

Question

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?

Answer 1

LOL that's funny. Well you do fart MORE when you are asleep because that is when you are most relaxed.
Try not to fall asleep in public places and you will find a girl that will like you for you... (YES, even if you fart a lot at night.)

Answer 2

No, or at least no one has ever told me I do. I don't think you can control it though, it's a matter of how deeply you sleep or something (I'm a real light sleeper usually) Hey this one guy I used to have to bunk with let a fart so loud I jumped and my *** literally left the bunk by like 5 inches, and it didn't even wake him up. HAhahaah it was ****** NASTY!! Same guy used to fall asleep sitting up and bounce his head off the floor and **** -- he could sleep through anything.

Answer 3

Do what my hubby did. Record 4 straight minutes of farting and write a cd! You have a gift, my friend...use it well.

On a serious level, I am the wife of the stinkiest butt this side of the Saskatoons.

I fed him Beano and it made it worse!

Our 3rd date, he lifts a leg and lets loose, and I almost fainted. I had to join in and learn to enjoy the funny side of things...let me tell you about the Wal Mart Fart.

The Wal Mart Fart dropped a teenage girl, after it was left in an aisle and the farter (who I will not name) walked away acting as if she did nothing.

The teenage girl followed down the aisle, dropped to her knees and began making vomitous noises...lol...and so the farter blamed her partner and he took it like a man.

You are a gifted man, or better yet, you have a gifted rearend. Enjoy it before it wears out.

I'd cut down on garlic, beans, anything gaseous, and MILK. Milk products seem to be the culprit with hubby, as well as coffee non-dairy creamer. A loud and obnoxious component in the gas infestation.

Good luck to you...but don't look at it like a bad thing. You are truly gifted if you can lay out an entire college class. :)_

Go see a doctor about that problem. I have the

same problem but I have a pretty clean cut

image & I'm quick on my thoughts & when I'm

somewhere & do that and someone close to

me says something I reply by saying if I did it

I 'd probably have put my head down or left but

usually the person that does it is the first to

complain trying to blame somebody. They feel

so embarrased that they get up & leave.There

are always ways around everything.

Answer 5

gas is usually a product of having eating something containing rancid oil (you'd be surprised how quickly oil becomes rancid; although still useable, with no particular characteristics that would indicate that it has gone bad). Rancid oil is difficult to digest, so you might watch your fried food intake, or how your oil is stored or be more aware of foods that are know to cause gas - beans, of course, salads and dairy.
Your gassy problem can also indicate an alergy - a very common one is being lactose intolerant. You can look into using digestive enzymes to be taken after/before you eat like "bean-o" or those you can find with a broader spectrum of help that you can find at a health food store.
Bottom line, (no pun intended-ha ha) is you have a digestive problem.

Answer 6

f1point4, I have the same problem---I fart 24/7. In fact, a black cloud is forming around me as I'm typing this. Oh well, that just means I can play turtle (you know, when you fart in bed, pull the covers up over your head like a turtle's shell and stay underneath the covers and clear your sinuses---its heaven man) tonight. I used to cut loose with my girlfriend in bed and would encourage her to fight back by doing the same. Oh well, if people can't take a joke... Btw, how do you know you fart while you're asleep? If you're asleep, how do you know you're doing it? Anyway, to answer your question, idk!!! GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PROBLEM AND GO SEE A PROCTOLOGIST. O'DOUL HAS SPOKEN. Next time you gotta pass gas around your buddy, sit on his leg and let loose. He told me he wants to feel a vibration on his leg---lol.

Answer 7

Tell him to next time confess to the act
Also if you fart in your sleep, you may have an unhealthy diet because when you sleep, your muscles relax and your stomach can find it easier to expel gases while sleeping
Id suggest to try a diet not for weight, but it may help you control and prevent this problem

Answer 8

Some people just tend to have more gas than others. If you do not like being Mr. Pootie watch what you eat. Stay away from gassy foods. Do not eat late then go to bed. And purchase some BEANO right away. Being a female, stinking farts ARE a big turnoff!!!

Answer 9

Do you drink alot of soda's? If so, it's the corn syrup causing it, it is an indigestible part of anything with corn starch in it. If you stop drinking so much, you will probably stop having so much gas. Or any junk food with corn starch, causes gas. Cut back, and you'll see a drop in the gas production.

As for your buddy...revenge is a dish best served C-O-L-D. I'd wait until you can get the perfect payback on him without him knowing. Since he didn't own up to it, ya owe him one, but make it a good one. :D

Question 1: For the same reason you fart when you're awake.
Question 2: Fart around . . . him.
