Its natural
Detailed Answer:
Hi, its normal to have high hormonal levels in middle of night. This leads to sexual excitement. It is natural to feel sexual urge and mastrubation. It is safe to masturbate. Dont worry about it. Try to control your urges on people sleeping besides you as you have successfully done till now. Try to sleep in different part of room by giving some excuse.

Thank you Dr XXXXXXX for your response. I actually have another small doubt. When I was 19 or 20, suddenly in the middle of sleep I found that I was without pants. But actually I didn't remember when did I remove my pants off. Does that happen once in a while.
Is this pretty normal or am I suffering from any sleeping disorder. Please clarify me
