So, I have been diagnosed with mild sleep apnea and am a segmented sleeper.

I have also noticed that when I don't get enough sleep, or am stressed out, I will talk in my sleep more than normal.

This morning I woke up around 5 a.m. laughing. I assume that was my sleep apnea happening. I'm relieved that my brain woke me up so I could breathe. That's probably thing only thing I don't like about living alone -- what if I died in my sleep, or had a stroke and was laying on my floor.

I know I advised someone to look at being alone as a positive: that marriage doesn't mean safety and security always. But, I admit it, sometimes, I can be a little too pedantic for my own good (yes, yes, I can hear you calling me a hypocrite and worse, thank you very much).

Supposedly, talking in your sleep is your body's way of warning you to wake up because you have:

• Sleep Terrors
• Sleepwalking
• Confusional Arousals
• Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
• REM Sleep Behavior Disorder
• Psychiatric Disorders
• Nocturnal Seizures
