Just Something to Ask

DOES ANYONE HERE KNOW WHAT IT MEANS IF YOU TALK IN YOUR SLEEP "A LOT" ACCORDING TO MY SPOUSE.

IF YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW, DO KNOW A SOURCE I COULD CHECK FOR INFO. APPARENTLY I'VE DONE THIS FOR A LONG TIME. ROOMATES SAID THE SAME THING TO ME OVER 30 YEARS AGO.

FEEL KINDA SILLY ASKING, SEEMS KINDA TRIVIAL WITH ALL THE OTHER QUESTIONS PEOPLE FACE, BUT I'M JUST CURIOS.

THE PIXIES SPEAKER

LOL Pixies, I don't have an answer, but my husband talks about his work in his sleep! I tell him that he should charge them overtime since he is still working when he should be sleeping!

Hey, that is a real good question! I talk in my sleep and drive my husband crazy! I wish there was a way to stop doing that. I say silly things and he worries that it "means something". Good luck finding out something!

Somniloquy or sleep-talking is a parasomnia that refers to talking aloud in one's sleep. It can be quite loud, ranging from simple sounds to long speeches, and can occur many times during sleep. Listeners may or may not be able to understand what the person is saying.
Sleep-talking usually occurs during transitory arousals from NREM (non-rapid eye movement) sleep, which is when the body does not move smoothly from one stage in NREM sleep to another, and they become partially aroused from sleep. Further it can also occur during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep at which time it represents a motor breakthrough of dream speech, words spoken in a dream are spoken out loud.

Sleep-talking is very common and is reported in 50% of young children, with most of them outgrowing it by puberty although it may persist into adulthood (about 4% of adults are reported to talk in their sleep). It appears to run in families.

Sleep-talking by itself is harmless; however, it can wake up others and cause them consternation—especially when misinterpreted as conscious speech by an observer.

(thank you wikipedia... lol)

I talk in my sleep too and have done since I was a child. I read once that there is a theory that it is some primative safety mechanism to ward of predators whilst in our most vulnerable state: sleep. Could be just bull though..

Just wondering though, can you answer questions if someone talks to you? Apparantly I do and have revealed quite a lot.. not that I remember of course!

I talk in my sleep sometimes. the reasons are many - a stressful day, excited about an upcoming event, guilty conscious (usually about not spending enough time with family and friends and partner) talking out loud what Im dreaming, switching into various alters through out the night and talking as an alter, out of fear of something I was dreaming or had gone through recently..

my doctors have never come up with a physical reason, I even went through a sleep study a while back to find out about physical reasons but the tests all varied so much, this night I talked before entering REM, that night I talked after entering REM, this night I hadnt fallen fully asleep yet, that night I had already passed through all the sleep cycles and talked as I was awakening.

the only thing that everyone could agree on was it corresponded with what was going on in my life at the time I was talking in my sleep and that it wasnt harmful for me to do it.

Talk with your treatment people and they can help you discover why you are talking in your sleep.

I have been told that I, at times, talk in my sleep......to my dogs lol!

I think my parts talk to each other in our sleep. Sometimes the littles talk while the body sleeps too.

I sleep talk a lot. But it's mostly babble. My partner says I fidget a lot and make weird sounds too. I know that I've been sleep talking because I remember having a conversation in my dream but not being able to speak properly... It's like my mouth doesn't work or my speech is slurred.
I find sleep talking a really strange thing. I think alot of the time it's me trying to make sense of things or put past problems or fears to rest x

Also sometimes when I sleep talk a lot of the time I'm feeling "psychotic" in my sleep or I'm acting crazy x

If it is just occasionally, then modt likely just stress. But if it happens nightly or regularly then it is a sleep disorder which can occur on its own or part of a lrgr issue. Have u talked to a dr or T about this?

I had a whole OTHER experience with talking in my sleep, lol.

I was just moved in with my husband. I don't think we were married yet but if we were we JUST got married, but I think it was when I first moved in with him.

There was a picture that hung above the bed (don't remember what it was). He had previously told me I talked in my sleep. If he said about what, I don't remember, but THIS I can't forget.....

I'm dreaming that my husband is standing in the middle of the road. And there is a truck coming up behind him. Like an 18 wheeler that looks larger than life behind him. So I start yelling, "THE TRUCK THE TRUCK!!!!" But the thing is, by this time, I was sitting up in bed staring at (through) the picture above the wall and pulling on my husband's arm. It's like I was trying to pull him out of the way. He wakes up, startled like, "WTF?" He starts looking around behind him and says, "What truck?!" And that woke me up. And the crazy part is that when I was "awake" my brain had registered everything that had just happened. I remembered staring at the picture, yanking on his arm and watching him look over his head to see what I was looking at.

That's about the craziest thing I can remember.

YMIhere! Love, love,love your signature! I should have that warning pinned to my coat like in pre-school! Lmao!

Most of that is accurate but I am skeptical of the last part. REM cycle disturbances are not harmless if they happen often. Esp if for many nights in a row. I have bouts of night terrors, and to my understanding consistent or prolonged periods of interrupted REM cycles can cause many physical and or psychological issues. Ranging from fatigue- hallucinations. And depending on amount of REM sleep loss can result in more serious and or perment issues if not adressed. This info is in my own wording to the best inconsistent memories abilities on what I remember being told by the Neuropsych Dr, who did my testing. I have to get a sleep study done this yr. I do not take much more stock in my memory's acururacy then I do Wikipedia's credibility so.... i think it is best to ask a dr for their opinion... my interpretation of what she said may be jumbled.

I thank God for the people who have managed to put up with me all of these years. Because I feel like the warning probably ought to be 15 pages long, lol.

LOL (((HUGS)))YMIHERE
I am also an incoragable rambler!
