Hearing Whilst Asleep

[Hooby]

If someone is asleep and you are talking in the same room, will they know what's been said when they wake up?

[-SharonA-]

Said something you shouldn't have eh??

[pixie374]

If they are fully asleep, no.

[Hooby]

Actually SharonA, it's regarding a doctor discussing a very ill patients predicament whilst they are asleep... Ok?

[bednobs]

asleep or in a coma?

[Old_Geezer]

Most folk struggle to even recall dreams let alone something said. But there again some believe hypnopædia works.

Deep sleep no
Dreaming sleep might be incorporated in the dream
Light sleep almost awake possibly
Induced coma yes at times
Light sedation depends on what is used
Based on what I observed during my nursing career.
Shouldn't happen those conversations should either take place with the patient or away from the bedside

[Hooby]

Bednobs - asleep.
Rowanwitch - maybe they Dr's shouldn't, but they do.
