Last night I woke up and promptly sneezed,which made me wonder if I woke up to sneeze or if I had sneezed and it woke me up.
As it turns out,you can't sneeze when you're asleep as the sneezing nerves are also asleep.
There are many reasons for sneezing,but they aren't neccesarily the same from person to person. The nervous system is pretty much the same for everyone,but the signals take different paths to and from the brain,so when one persons nerve might tell them to sneeze it might not send the same signal in another person.
Sneezing is an important part of the immune system,it clears your nose of bacteria and viruses.
Exercise can make you sneeze,you hyperventilate when you over-exert and in turn your nose and mouth dry up making you sneeze. Bright light can cause people to sneeze,these are called photic sneezers (I belong to this catergory).
The iguana holds the title of the sneeziest animal,they sneeze to rid their bodies of certain salts that are a byproduct of their digestive system.
Sneezes travel at about 100 miles per hour,and can send 100,000 germs into the air. Too bad the power of a sneeze couldn't be harvested for some other use!
