skaidi asked: According to wikipedia “Sneezing cannot occur during sleep due to REM atonia” and “The neural regions involved in the sneeze reflex are located in the brainstem”. In other words, sneezing is a surefire signal that your potential partner is A: awake and B: alive. Both of which are beneficial traits to select for.
