  • Subjects reported sensations of increased body dirtiness and blocked openings.
  • A trend suggested less expansive body size perception post-awakening.
  • Stability and reflectiveness showed predictive trends for bodily experiences.

    • Conclusions:

    • Sleep may subtly alter body perception, particularly the sense of body boundary.
    • Certain personality traits may be associated with specific post-awakening bodily experiences.
