How to avoid farting while sleeping and save your love life in the process
Farting. Fluffing. Breaking wind. Whatever you call it, it can be a real detriment to your social life and maybe even your love life if a good portion of your gas comes out in bed. Dutch oven, anyone? But what’s a normal amount of farting to do in your sleep? And why do we do it? Sleep and clinical psychologist Andrew Mair is here to help us get to the ‘bottom’ of it (we love our own wordplay) and to share some tips on how to avoid farting when sleeping.Why do we fart in our sleep?
Farting in our sleep is usually caused by the same things that make us fart when we’re awake. When gas gets into the intestines, it has to come out eventually. And that ‘eventually’ usually sees it coming out the bum. Excess flatulence can be blamed on many things (sometimes even the dog). But sleeping with an illness, digestive disorders, food sensitivities, medications and even stress can also be the cause. At other times, it might be as simple as eating some cheese before heading to bed. “We each have differences in how we digest food and dietary sensitivities,” says Andrew. And while everybody is different, things like soft drinks, beans, onions and prunes can cause the pop-offs to pop off.
