Is it normal to dig and itch your ass while you sleep

Sometimes, after I go to sleep. I unconsciously dig and itch my ass. I'm like maybe, 10 % awake, I can vaguely remember doing, it. It's just my finger. If I wake up I wash my finger off, because it usually has some fecal matter stuck on it from the shit itching. Yesterday, I woke up, and there was some shit, and blood inside my pants. I guess I itched too hard, and tore my ass. I can't control it because I'm not awake. My finger usually smells when I wake up, so I go wash it, but I'm usually afraid I may have bit my fingernails, or something to put my fingers in my mouth during my sleep. This is not a troll post, I'm serious! IIN?

Is It Normal?

  • A thorough cleaning before bed and clipped nails are good ideas... so is seeing a doctor.

    Have you tried a different pair of pajama pants that would make it more difficult to reach backdown there?

  • It might not be very comfortable but you could try wearing oven mitts to bed.

  • You may have what they call Pin worms. They actually come out in the evening when you are sleeping. https://www.emedicinehealth.com/pinworms/article_em.htm#can_adults_get_pinworms

    The most common symptom of pinworms is itching around the anus. It is worse at night when the female worm deposits her eggs on the person infected. This can lead to difficulty getting a good night's sleep. This intense itching is felt to be due to an inflammatory response to the adult worm and her eggs in the perianal tissue. If severe scratching occurs, the skin may break down and allow development of a secondary bacterial infection.

  • 1. Go to a doctor to stop the internal bleeding
    2. Go to a sleep centre to see if a sleep disorder is causing this.

  • Perhaps ya need to clean your hiney better before you go to bed and you might need some anti-itch cream. And make sure you don't have an acid condition, scabies, worms or some other itch-causing problem.
