Sleep Talking?!


Question: My boyfriend and I both talk in our sleep. We have caught each other numerous times just chattering away while fast asleep. Recently, we had friends stay the night, and they told us that we were talking in our sleep- to each other!

Is this a normal thing? We both sleep a little awkwardly, he is a bedhog who spreads out, and I tend to sleep flat on my back, straight as a board. I do admit we need a bigger bed- right now we are sleeping on a full sized mattress. Could this be a symptom of not sleeping well?

Why do some people talk in their sleep?

Nobody knows for sure. Children seem to be prone to it, especially if they sleepwalk too. Some people carry on whole conversations, while others just moan and make other sounds. If the frequency of sleep talking is bothering the family and disrupting sleep for others, there are some things you can keep in mind.


Make sure the sleep talker gets plenty of sleep every night, someone who is sleep deprived is more likely to sleep talk.
Reduce the stress and anxiety levels
Keep to a regular schedule of going to bed and getting up at the same time
Don't eat a heavy meal right before bedtime
If an episode occurs, make sure the sleep talker is safe and gently soothe them

Nothing wrong with it btw =]

Wow dats cool!!! wat do u talk about???

i think thats actually kinda cool,
its not weird at all, its just unique.
i dont think its a bad thing to talk in your sleep.

Talking to each other is weird! They're probably lying.

lots of people sleep talk.
its perfectly fine.
it just means you both have dreams and you're probably having a lot of sugar before you go to bed.

probably..but wow that's cool u guys talk back n fort while u sleep lol that's something interesting

I think its just fine. Its normal. Plus if you ever record it, it can be hilarious!

i don't know what it means, but it's got to be entertaining for guests! maybe you should charge admission??

it is normal but you better see a doctor just in case

i hear my mom sleep talk.....................but its perfectly normal

one time i walked into my brother's room and yelled ''NO FRICK"N PEANUTS!'' i think sleep talking is when you have dream that seem very real to you and make you talk thinking that you are actually in real life appose to dream land. dont be worried you just have an overactive imagination

i dont think its a symptom of not sleeping well coz apparently according to my friends when im at sleepovers i constantly talk in my sleep, and i rarely have issues with not sleeping well. I think it's basically that you either have very animated/ vivid dreams and so talk through them alot, or you and your boyfriend are both very well connected and even chat in sleep which is really cool. My advice is just be careful you dont do anything bad which could get you into trouble, should you let a secret slip when youre asleep
