Do people really lose their sense of smell when they are asleep?
No. That doesn't make any sense, does it? While we sleep a lot of our sensory information goes to our dreams, it takes a strong jolt to wake us up, whether it be a smell, bright flash, loud sound, etc. If that were the case, then smelling salts wouldn't wake people up, either.
