I think their must be a reason, also like shy pee syndrome, that's when a man can't pee if another man is around.

We are like cows - Need regular milking.
In the beginning you cycle through the stages fairly rapidly every 90 minutes or so, but as your body rests you spend less time in the more restful stages of sleep and more time in REM sleep. This means that after 7 or 8 hours of sleeping, a large part of your time is in REM sleep and thus the odds are that you would have been in REM sleep just before waking. Thus you are more likely to wake up with an erection than not.
Nocturnal erections differ from day time erections, or being hard from sexual arousal. Since the body has less physical stimulation at night then during the day, the bodies natural healing mechanisms kick in, which allow internal organs to receive increased blood flow. During the day most men are able to control this raised surge of blood to the penis, however at night, your controls are turned off, thus giving you several involuntary erections during sleep.
And if we do, we can use it as a pogo stick to get us back in.
Michael Stipe must wake up with a stonker on then
Not any more, obviously. He's now classed as an inactive member, like so many former members of DS.
Were you wearing a white lab coat and holding a clipboard when you posted this?
Well that is part of it : http://www.myhealthportal.co.uk/articles/248,_92.html
If female, and wearing just stockings and suspenders under the lab coat, there's the mystery explained:D
If you're short on time, try a handstand.
I am lucky nowadays to get 7-8 hours sleep
but i still have a erection, must be the former reason.
