Man shocked to find out that women bleed at night during their periods

A woman has taken to Twitter to share screenshots of her interaction with a man who thought women’s periods cease at night because the body shuts down during sleep.

Twitter user Farah, from New Jersey, told a male friend she bled through the night but his answer left her surprised. The man wondered how it was possible to bleed through the night as he seemed to think periods are more of a daytime thing because “the body shuts down during sleep.”

“I didn’t know it was possible to get it overnight,” the 24-year-old man told Farah when she told him her period started suddenly at night.

Farah replied: “How would it only happen during the day? You think our uterus waits for us to wake up?”
And the man replied: “Cause the body shuts down during sleep?”

The man’s answer has amused a lot of Twitter users. Some were left surprised at how little some men know about menstruation. Some women said if it were possible for the period to cease during sleep, they will sleep throughout the week when they get their period so they don’t have to deal with the discomfort.
