A member asked:
Should i do anything if during the night im not sure if i scratched my private area? im not sure if during the night i was somewhat awake and i noticed that my hand was scratching near my private area?

It is 100% normal and an automatic response to scratch an itch (or similar), and is not overridden by our conscious mind when asleep. It would be wise and courteous to others to wash your hands afterwards.
