Any insights on what E code would be appropriate when a person is injured while sleeping? Thinking of incidents such as kids falling out of bunkbeds, striking a wall while in a bed sleeping, scratching their face while in bed sleeping, injuries incurred while sleepwalking, etc. Sleeping is not really a personal hygiene activity E013.8 is it?
 
I would code the Ecode that best decribes what happened

fall from bed while sleeping at home

E884.4, E849.0

Sleeping isn't personal hygiene
