Why do I talk in my sleep?

I actually tried to record myself while sleeping to see if i talk or not and unfortunately my phone only recorded 1 and a half minutes in which i was still awake. but my mom told me i snore so...does that count as sleep talking? xD

Talking in your sleep is a sign that you are dreaming lucidly. Normally chemicals in your brain will not allow you to act out what your brain is thinking. Sometimes the chemicals don't work and it can cause you to talk or sleep walk. Typically there is nothing to worry about when talking in your sleep. However, it can be a sign of sleep apnea... so it is important to tell your healthcare provider.

You talk in your sleep because when your brain enters the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) state, which is what you would call dreaming, certain factors such as diet and vitamin intake, as well as things such as alcohol consumption can affect the brain and create quirky effects such as this. Usually when you enter into REM the brain shuts down the signal pathways to limbs and such so when you move in your dream, you don't move in real life and end up kicking the wall, or bedside table or whatever. Sleep talking is when the brain can't fully stop the signals to talk reaching your lungs and whatnot. So you end up speaking.

I talk in my sleep because my brain is too active during the night and I'm too restless and that's why I talk in my sleep.

You may have a lot on your mind and feel like there's things you still need to get done. Or you could be really tired, nothing to worry about though

Things that can cause sleep talking include: - Certain medications - Emotional stress - Fever - Mental health disorder - Substance abuse You might think that sleep talking occurs during dreaming. But scientists still are not sure if such chatter is linked to nighttime reveries. The talking can occur in any stage of sleep. Sleep talking usually occurs by itself and is most often harmless. However, in some cases, it might be a sign of a more serious sleep disorder or health condition. REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and sleep terrors are two types of sleep disorders that cause some people to shout during sleep. Sleep terrors, also called night terrors, usually involve frightening screams, thrashing, and kicking. It's hard to wake someone having a sleep terror. Children with sleep terrors usually sleep talk and sleepwalk. People with RBD yell, shout, grunt, and act out their dreams, often violently. Sleep talking can also occur with sleepwalking and nocturnal sleep-related eating disorder(NS-RED), a condition in which a person eats while asleep.

Unfinished business is sometimes why people talk in their sleep. Sometimes when you are in dream mode, your dreams maybe so vivid that you find yourself talking out loud

Talking in ur sleep is caused by many things. I found that when u have something troubling u...or something on ur mind u dream about it and express itself that way. Its find it a normal way to express itself :-)

there could be a bunch of reasons like nightmare , dreams , or a lack of a substance produced by the body that prevents us from performing what occurs in our dreams , there are many more reasons but I believe its normal

This is a normal thing. most people talk in their sleep. There is no specific or scientific reason as to why we do it

Sleep talking, or somniloquy, is the act of speaking during sleep. It's a type of parasomnia -- an abnormal behavior that takes place during sleep. It's a very common occurrence and is not usually considered a medical problem. The nighttime chatter may be harmless, or it could be graphic, even R rated.

Well some people talk in their sleep, just because they have such vivid dreams, that when they sleep, they end up talking and not being aware of it.

Because I am either sleeping lightly, or having a very vivid dream. If I have had a few drinks it can happen then too.

you might be trying to externalize deeply subconscious issues that are difficult to voice consciously.

there is nothing wrong about it. many people do it. but if it still a problem for you then you can read about it many articles are provided on internet. these articles not only help you to understand your problem but also give you the solution of this

Talking in sleep is not as uncommon as you think. Perhaps, stress could trigger it but, its certainly not abnormal in most cases.

The best thing to do would be speaking to your doctor about it, or research it online. That way you can get a medical reason!

Its one of those special things people do. Its what makes us unique individuals. Maybe its because we are thinking about something so much, we actually talk. Its a mystery given upon us.

I (think I) have talked in my sleep in the past (in a half-sleep/half-awake state). I believe this happened because my dreams seemed very realistic to me while being half-awoken.

There could be something on your mind that there is no way you could express the way you feel. It could also be your subconscious trying to tell you something.

You may talk in your sleep because your dreams seem so surreal that you can't stop yourself from responding.

You talk in your sleep because the pressure of the dream you're seeing is too much for you to handle

I talk in my sleep because I am stressed out. Every night i write down my problems so I don't talk.

Talking in your sleep can be a sign of distress in your life or it could be contentment. It all depends on the things you say during your sleep

Does your partner say so? How do you know it? What do you speak about? Do you sleep well? Does it bother you?

Talking in your sleep is relatively common, people in my family do - it sometimes is just a release of stress built up, and in your dream you could be reliving your day and looking how to improve it for tomorrow? There are many reasons for talking in sleep :)

Because of being caught up in some very vivid dream (more often than not). Although I think it can also be caused by stress, lack of proper rest and piece of mind.

Sleep talk is quite usual behavior and is not usually an indication of any serious mental health issues.

I find that when my dreams are particularly vivid or distressing my sister will tell me that I'd been talking in my sleep. She'll usually report that I said things like, "wow," "hi there," "no way man," "that's hilarious," or even "get me out of here." This usually happens monthly.

Sleep talking, also known as somniloquy, may occur during both the REM (rapid eye movement) and non-REM sleep phases. When it happens during REM sleep — the stage during which we dream — it's caused by "motor breakthrough" of dream speech: One's mouth and vocal cords, usually inactive when we're sleeping, briefly get switched on, and words spoken by one's character in a dream are spoken out loud. It's not a mental disorder and shouldn't be something to be worried about! :D Cheers
