    All men, except for those with erectile dysfunction, have erections while they sleep. These erections keep the equipment functioning properly and typically happen during the dream stage of sleep. If a man wakes up directly from the dream stage of sleep, then he will likely wake up with an erection, or morning wood, or morning glory. Whatever term you prefer.

    Doctors use the fact that men normally have erections while sleeping to determine whether impotence (the inability to have an erection) is physical or psychological. If a man doesn't have erections while sleeping, then his impotence is physical. If he does have erections while he is sleeping, then his impotence is psychological.

    • At least someone here has a clue. When men are sleeping, they have erections -- whether their bladders are full or not.
