A member asked:
Could i throw up in my sleep without being drunk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many causes: There are many reasons people vomit, and being intoxicated is just one of them. Throwing up while asleep is very dangerous, because it can result in aspiration of vomit - going into the airways, causing pneumonia and worse. If this is happening to you, you need to see your doctor for a full evaluation of what is causing it.
