Q: Mysterious Cuts Appear after Sleeping - possible causes?

I hope this is the category since it occurs on the skin. My mom periodically finds these pretty deep cuts, on her left leg when she wakes up in the mornings and doesn't know how she gets them. They aren't there before she goes to sleep, but she wakes up with two or three separate cuts. They are usually long and look as if she got cut on a piece of wire. We have looked all around her bed and surrounding areas, but see no sources. We have also recently moved to a new house, but she still gets them. She thought maybe she scratched her leg with her toes on the other foot, but after cutting her toe nails to a really low point, she still got them. They also have recently appeared on her other leg.

Does anybody happen to know about this? Has this happened to anyone else?

I sometimes wake up with scratches on my face without knowing what happened... Question I tend to think it's my fingernails.

How long are these scratches?

Have you considered some paranormal phenomenon going on???

That was my thought, too. ... but you've moved to a new house, so there's some energy that might be coming with you. How often does this happen?

the cuts are from just below the back of her knee down to her ankle. Mom recently said they aren't happening as often and she was hoping they were caused by her toenails.... but I don't know. My nails are a little long and don't do that.

lol sorry i totally forgot to pm you

i just didnt want to freak you out by saying that its a possibility that a paranormal being is doing this to you in your sleep

it happened to my sister 2 yrs ago
she would wake up atleast 2 times a week with scrtatches that looked like cat scratches? and so after about 3 weeks of it ongoing my mom called in a psycic that shes good friends with. she said there was negative energy specificly in that room and the basement.

after my sister started sleeping in the guest room it never hapened again.

freaky. These look just like cat scratches, but we don't have any cats.

And I was just kidding about the email.... I figured you probably forgot. No biggie.

Place a webcam/video camera infront of your mother when she sleeps.

mysterious cuts
It's a parasite. But no one will listen to you, believe me. Vermox [mebendazole] 2 pills 2x daily for 3 days should help.

this is weird cause I have the same cat-like scratches and I don't have a
cat either and I have lived in the same house for 5 years and I have been getting them every night for the past month.

this just started happening to me, vaguely remember it happening when i was younger this time was much worse. googled "Cat like scratches in sleep" and found this thread. We don't own any cats either.

cuts in pairs across stomach, chest and in left armpit, all quite deep and narrow. Haven't been caught sleep walking since i was 8, sleep alone. Fingernails all cut very short and bedding doublechecked.

I remember reading about this--a woman had sleep apnea/sleepwalking and did things during the night that she wouldn't remember doing the next morning. For instance, your mother could have climbed out of bed and cut herself while she was sleeping (maybe grabbed a kitchen knife.)

I agree with "mcjames", too--about the parasite.
