spitting during sleep?

[mela36]

Over the past few years, I noticed I started to literally spit in my sleep. I usually always drool, but this is not drooling. I literally will hawk back and spit in my sleep, sometimes more than once, and it isn't until afterwards that I know I did but by then I am half asleep and don't think or do anything of it instead I roll back over and go to bed. I never thought about it too much but I decided to ask because I googled it and couldn't find anything on the matter, aside from infants and children spitting up.

Does anyone else do this? Is it something I should be worried about?

Wow! This is so wierd....maybe this is a newly discovered phenomenon! I'm not sure I would think too deeply about this. Lots of people do lots of strange things in their sleep. Last night I woke myself up by hawking into my hand! At least I managed to catch it unlike some of you poor folk! I'm gonna put it down to a stressful few days and complete mental exhaustion from arguing with my partner and writing essays. However, I think I would feel differently if this happened again. As was said above, "happy spitting!"

I read somewhere it could be related to sleep apnea..  I did it this morning at first i thought it was just a dream until i stood up out of bed and stepped in spit.. NICE!!! =/... im currently in nursing school.. ill ask some of my teachers and see if they have heard of it at all being that some of them are doctors.  happy spitting!!! =D =/
