A Swedish accused of rape overturned the verdict after persuading the judge that he completely dreamed of sleeping during the "relationship" process, which science calls the "sex during sleep" syndrome. .

Mikael Halvarsson was acquitted after the experts admitted that he did not know that he had taken action against others while asleep , and when he woke up he did not remember what had happened, according to the lake guide. records recorded at Sundsvall trial in Sweden. Halvarsson was accused of sexual assault on the opposite sex on April 2, 2014.

In the appellate trial, Halvarsson's ex-girlfriend reported that he had once encountered a case when he had sex with him. The defendant's mother also confirmed that her son used to have inappropriate behavior when sleeping. The term 'sexomnia' , meaning unconscious lovemaking during sleep , is sometimes exploited as an excuse to escape crime in previous trials. However, Professor - Dr. Kingman Strohl - Director of the Center for Sleep at Case Medicine in Cleveland - confirmed that the literature recorded cases of unconscious sexual behavior when sleeping. Strohl said sexomnia is listed as a paranoid, a sleep disorder , like sleepwalking or talking.

'Usually people with this disorder are very frightened and confused about what happened,' Dr Strohl said of sexomnia patients. 'We look for signs that may reveal object behavior in the past, which means that the situation that happened earlier is like sleepwalking and talking.' The American professor said that in near-death situations, a person did not really dream but instead acted spontaneously and unconsciously, like walking across a room, driving around the block . experts, the same sleep disorder may occur more often if the patient is too tired or has to take sleeping pills to coax.

Although sexomnia is very rare, there is a way to detect someone who is really ill or just looking for an excuse to sexually assault others. Professor Strohl revealed some signs that he could detect a true or pretend accused. Accordingly, a person who actually sleeps will not have any perfect action or reaction to the surrounding environment. For example, a somnambulist kept poking his head forward without knowing he was about to hit the chair in front of him or walking casually on the edge of the buildings. In the case of pretending, a person can "act" by making a cake while sleeping, but if he sleeps really hard, he will not finish the job and then cover the cake with sugar.

Meanwhile, Professor - Dr. Mark Eric Dyken - Director of the Institute of Sleep Disorders at the University of Iowa - said that a few cases have been discovered in the United States of the perpetrator deliberately blame for nearness . Dyken specialist notes that while sexomnia is real and a proven sleep disorder, it is also extremely rare.
