Sexsomnia is an Excuse

When I first heard about sexsomnia I thought it had to be a hoax. It sounded like something a nympho would create as an excuse for what they may do. Can you imagine being a teenager and telling your girlfriend that you have no control over your actions when you fall asleep with her? You would get one look from her and a huge laugh as she gave you the finger. However there have been reported rapes that included people that appear unconscious. To me it seems like a combination of sleepwalking and acting out of the subconscious.

Are There Any Sleeping Disorders from Chewing Mint Gum

The simple answer is yes. There have been noted sleeping disorders from chewing mint gum. However it isn't in the manner you think. Chewing regular gum, mint or any other flavor, will not just unusually cause you to loose sleep; unless you have OCD or something else that can cause you to loose sleep. On the package leaflet for zonnic mint nicotine gum it does state that "sleeping disturbances may be caused" under the side-effects. However this could be caused by simple withdrawal of nicotine. Since nicotine gum slowly removes the levels of nicotine the user would experience a withdrawal and possible sleep due to it; not because of the gum.

The Most Common is Somniloquy

There are a lot of common sleeping disorders that people know about from experience; like tossing and inability to fall asleep. Some of the strangest for me are sudden jerks and muscle reactions towards dreams. However everyone has heard about somniloquy or better known as sleep-talking. If you haven't witnessed it yourself you might not recognize it. Most of the time the speech is low enough that you can't make out what the other person is saying. Most sleep-talkers are either children or teens. There are a small percentage of adults that do talk in their sleep with very loud and clear speech but it is quite rare.
