Why don't we sneeze in our sleep?

Asked by syz (35938points) July 21st, 2008

I sometimes wake myself coughing when I’m sick, but I never sneeze in my sleep. As a matter of fact, I sometimes wake completely normally and then have an allergy attack and start sneezing within seconds of waking up. If sneezing is an involuntary action, what delays the onset of my allergy attack while I’m alseep?
