Is it normal to pass gas while sleeping?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, passing gas while you sleep is completely normal. Your digestion keeps going overnight, and relaxed muscles can let gas escape without you noticing.

Your gut doesn’t clock out when you go to bed: it keeps moving food and gas along. As you sleep, the muscles around your bottom relax, so a fart can slip out before you’re awake enough to notice or hold it in.

It happens to lots of people, even if nobody’s around to confirm it in the morning. It’s usually just a normal bit of digestion, not a sign that anything is wrong.
