If you feel a sudden, unwarranted connection between your senses, you are experiencing Synesthesia. If this occurs often and is not apparent in your peers, it is very likely that you are synesthetic.
Synesthesia in Tagalog is "sinesestesiya." It is a sensory phenomenon where stimulation of one sense triggers an involuntary experience in another sense.
Not at all. Synesthesia has no disadvantages other than a synesthete doesn't know what it is like to percieve things normally. Synesthesia will only enhance sleep if anything. I should know - I am one lol. I'm not saying that the above isn't true. however, i think that it would be a matter of opinion.
well, make sure you're alone and carefully tell him that you have synesthesia... if he really does like you he'll understand completely and not push the subject. You may want to explain what type of synesthesia you have and how it effects your everyday life (as he may not know what it is).
yes he does. he has lexical synesthesia
If there is a need to tell your teacher you have synesthesia, (I'm assuming there is one, since you asked,) then you could start by explaining what it is. When the teacher understands, it should be easier to let him/her know that you have it.
Synesthesia is a condition in which the senses mix together (for example some people with Synesthesia see certain colors for certain sounds, or hear different sounds for different colors, and so on. So smells can have colors for someone with Synesthesia. There is no definite answer I can give, for three reasons. One, you did not specify which type of odor in your question. Two, I, nor anyone I know has Synesthesia. Three, the mixing of senses for people with Synesthesia is unique for every person affected, so it is impossible to give a true answer.

Synesthesia can be a symptom of hallucinogens or sleep deprivation, but otherwise would be very unlikely spontaniously.
