						Is this possible?  Can you get a good work out while asleep?  Could a dream cause you to get a workout?
The reason I'm asking is I woke up this morning and my calves hurt - as if I had worked out the day before.  Did I benefit from a dream workout?
					
				 
				
						
														
					
													@roger,
												Then why they heck did my calves ache this morning?
											
 
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
													@Ticomaya,
												You could be right - I wouldn't put it past the old dog.
											
 
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
													@Linkat,
												I wouln't rely on burning calories in  my sleep.  Maybe you're having a nightmare or somthing, lol
											
 
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
													@carrie94086,
												I was wondering that - I figured I might have been "running" or "jumping" or something.  Sometimes I have very adventerous dreams - where I am running/jumping and fighting against the bad guys.

													@Linkat,
												You probally didn't drink enough water that day, or previous days, and had a muscle spasm in your sleep.
											
 
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
													@alex240101,
												That's what I was thinking.
Eat a banana.
											
 
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
													@chai2,
												If I have a muscle spasm, I don't sleep - that's some impressive sleep. 
I know when I had nightmares and would cry in my dream - I would have a sore throat the next morning...prolly just flexing those muscles while you are dreaming. 
											
 
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
													@chai2,
												I hate bananas!
Could be - I thought maybe I was saving the world.  I've always wanted to be a superhero.  I tell my kids that I don't go to work, I am actually a superhero - but alas they don't believe me.
											
 
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												Who hates bananas?
I never heard of such a thing.
											
					
				 
																
						
														
					
													@chai2,
												I am odd - I hate apple pie too!
