A member asked:

Could we sneeze while sleeping? what about if this person was in a coma?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doesn't happen: Sneezing in your sleep under normal circumstances doesn't happen. Nor in coma. And your eyeballs don't pop out of your head either if you were somehow to be able to keep your eyes open during a sneeze.

Dr Davis and another doctor agreed
