Speaking to oneself while sleeping at night is a common behaviour. They are occasionally unaware of it. This behavior might be upsetting to a spouse or family members who share a bed. Although this issue may seem commonplace, it is wrong to disregard it because doing so could harm one’s health. Sedation-related speech disorder is often referred to as somniloquy.
According to research, stress, and exhaustion are the key contributors to this issue. In this article, Dr. DS Martolia, Head Professor of Community Medicine at Government Medical College (Kannauj), discusses the causes of sleep talking as well as ways to avoid it.
Talking while sleeping is a problem that belongs to parasomnia disorder, which is a disruptive sleep-related condition. As a result, they could behave strangely while trying to sleep. Generally speaking, it has been noted that some individuals can speak for up to 30 seconds while they are asleep.
Although it is not immediately harmful, it can impair our health and lead to other sleep issues later on. RBD, also known as REM sleep behavioral disorder, is another name for it. A person inadvertently acts out their dreams while they are asleep due to this sleep condition. If someone is sleeping, they shouldn’t holler, shout, or do anything else of the sort. These signs can appear in dementia and Parkinson’s disease.
