What is sleep talking?
Your whole body is normally paralyzed during REM. Your senses remain active, and sometimes it happens that you partly act out your dream. So you may talk while sleeping if your muscles aren’t fully paralyzed. We know that we can dream in non-REM sleep, maybe not as vivid, but enough to talk. Most sleep talking occurs in non-REM. In a Lucid Dream can you also command yourself to talk while dreaming.
Has anyone ever accused you of sleep talking? Or should I say talking in your sleep. However you word it, it pretty much means the same thing. Way back when people used to think sleep talking had other worldly connotations. Some people were accused of being possessed by the devil or spirits. Some people thought it was a supernatural premonition of some sort. Well, for the most part we know better now, at least most of us do. Sleep talking is the utterance of speech or sounds without awareness of the event. Sometimes you can even hold conversations with someone who is sleep talking. Some of the symptoms of sleep talking are speech or utterances during sleep. Sleep talking episodes are not associated with awareness of talking. Sleep recordings show episodes of sleep talking that can occur in any stage of sleep. It can be associated with other health disorders such as, psychiatric, anxiety, as well as other sleep disorders like sleepwalking, sleep apnea, or REM sleep behavior disorder. No
