A member asked:
Vomiting while asleep when intoxicated? how is it possible? i thought deep sleep terminated the signals in the brain that control the vomiting reflex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Effect of alcohol.: The alcohol likely suppresses the reflex of which you speak. Furthermore, the vomiting is your body‘s attempt to get rid of an excessive amount of toxin, i.e. alcohol. The obvious “doctorly” statement to make is that if you’re vomiting while you’re sleeping, you’re probably drinking too much.
