Do you know why we talk in our sleep? There is an explanation for this

Have you ever had someone tell you that you talked in your sleep, or heard someone do the same?

We've all been told at least once in our lives that we talked in our sleep the night before. How embarrassing it can be to say things you are not conscious of and have others hear you.

The first question is: "What did I say?!"

Then we move on to the second dilemma; why do we talk while sleeping?!

Sleep talking, known differently with the term "somniloquy" can occur during the transition between the two phases from half awake to full sleep.

During the time we sleep, we are interrupted by "sleep interference" and this allows us to talk, but not be conscious of what.

Such a phenomenon is very common in children, but studies have shown that it fades over time. If in adults, talking during sleep becomes chronic, then we are dealing with a sleep disorder that comes as a result of stress or other factors.

But what do we say when we talk in our sleep?

People talk about all sorts of things in their sleep. Some make the conversation seem like a conversation with invisible people, while others swear. There are those who say completely meaningless things. Speech during light sleep is easier to understand compared to deep sleep.

In which cases is a doctor's appointment recommended?

If your child accompanies talking at night with sweating, movements that express fear or exclamations, consultation is necessary.

Even if it's not a sleep disorder, it could be a problem related to your emotional side or a bad experience from the past.

Professor Jim Horn, former director of the Center for Sleep Research at Luborough University, explains that sleep talking occurs during "light sleep".

"Sleep talking is not related to dreaming, but to light sleep," he said. According to him, anxiety and stress can repeat sleep talking.

But can you accept betrayal in your sleep, tell truths that you do not accept with a full and awake conscience? Professor Jim Horne, says that we should not over-analyze what is said in sleep. /Telegraph/
