People also fessed up to committing crimes in their sleep, as men and women revealed their biggest turn-offs, as far as bonkers bedtime behaviour is concerned.

Trying to drive a vehicle whilst sleeping proved to be the biggest dealbreaker for a partner, although nobody seems to mind being with someone who talks gibberish as they kip.

And shockingly, 17 per cent of men admitted to having orgasms in their sleep, whilst 16 per cent confessed to wetting the bed whilst sleeping.

The  saw over 2,000 Americans quizzed about their strangest sleep habits, revealing some of the most common - and the most surprising - sleep habits of men and women across the country.

According to the poll, snoring was the most common habit, followed by talking nonsense, sleepwalking, laughing and having a conversation with yourself.

But among men, sleep orgasms and wetting the bed are so prominent that they made it into the top five.

Researchers suggested that tiredness may play a part in how often you perform strange sleep behaviours, with most habits becoming more common the less rested you are.

And as far as dealbreakers are concerned, sleepily ending a relationship or urinating all over the place were found to be some of the most off-putting habits.

But shopping online, screaming, texting and eating were all numbered among the most infuriating sleep behaviours.
