yes.  you sneeze when something irritates your inner nose.  all that happens is that a little piece of dust gets in the wrong place, and you wake up sneezing--but this does not happen very often.  it is very rare

We do not know exactly why this happens, but it might reflect a "crossing" of pathways in the brain, between the normal reflex of the eye in response to light and the sneezing reflex.\n\nClick below for a FULL explination

Sneezing helps u to remove an irritation from your nose.It is more of a response than a voluntary action. Like all other involuntary actions in our body sneezing also involves a lot of muscles. Some of these muscles may be involved in the closing of the eye lids. Being an involuntary action we are unable to keep our eyes open when sneezing. \nHowever we do find yogis who have control on many of their muscles - may be they will be in a better position to keep their eyes open when sneezing.\n\nOn the lighter side - what do you really expect to see when u are sneezing!!!!!

Sneeze is an involuntary violent expiration of air through the nose and mouth. It results from stimulation of the nervous system in the nose, causing sudden contraction of the muscles of expiration. The stimulus can include any irritating factor in the nose—inflammation of the tissues as the result of a cold or infection, allergic irritants (hay fever), or irritating substances such as dust or pollutants in the air. An occasional sneeze usually has little significance. Repeated sneezing indicates that some condition of the nose or in the immediate atmosphere requires attention.

you sneeze once and you rub your nose and it might tickle your nose so you sneeze!

I'm allergic to something that no doctor has yet been able to figure out.  It strikes me at the worst times (usually when I'm eating or drinking) and it was extremely hard to control.  What I've learned to do is to hold a piece of ice to the top of my mouth with my tounge.  If you press the ice firmly enough to the roof of your mouth the sneezing should stop (at least, it does with my sneezing).

No. What are doing right before you sneeze? Taking in short breaths of air before finally sneezing.

I dont agree with the question to begin. It doest necessarily have to occur like this. Ive heard a lot of people sneeze and not everyone sneezes after them.

Sneezing is a reflex action intended for you to relieve somtehing from your air ways.  If the reflex is caused by a strong agent (such as pepper) you can bet that thinking won´t help.  On the other hand, if the agent causing the reflex is not very strong, thinking about anything will make it stop.

Not an expert, but it seems to be a kind of reflex action in a small percentage of people. If you experience the "sun sneeze" the same way that I do, it only occurs if I look skyward or toward the bright light of the sun.  If  I look away, I lose the urge to sneeze.  My best guess is that it may be a crossed wire of sorts in some people where an overload of the visual senses creates a reaction.  Since it is impossible to keep your eyes open during a sneeze, it could be that this reaction is the body's attempt to protect your eyes from exposure to the intense light.

I was once told it's because your heart skips a beat when you sneeze.............not sure it that's true or not?

Yes it does.  My eyes squint, my nose starts itching, and then I sneeze. I thought I was the only one who did that.
