Is it normal to talk in your sleep?
Talking in your sleep is a form of sleep disorder - doctors do not know much about this phenomenon, for example, modern medicine still does not know the cause, nor has it been studied what happens in the brain at this time.
The next day, the sleep talker does not remember what he was talking about, and if it were not for his partner, he would not know that he was talking in his sleep either.
A person may utter complete sentences, shout out slurred words, or speak in a language or manner that is not characteristic of him (ie, he does not speak like he does when he is awake).
Talking in your sleep is harmless, but it causes discomfort in your partner. Sometimes it is the cause of insomnia, restless sleep, therefore, if you or the person living with you disturbs your daily routine, consult a doctor.
The specific cure for sleep talking is unknown, but it can be managed.
Sleep talking is more common in children and men. Genetic predisposition should also be taken into account, for example, sometimes sleep talking is passed on from a parent or other family members to a child.
Talking in your sleep may be due to the following reasons:
- being sick;
- fever;
- alcohol;
- stress;
- depression;
- lack of sleep;
- sleep apnea;
- sleep walking;
- nightmares.
