What Exactly is Sleep Talking?

Sleep talking is a condition that is sometimes referred to as somniloquy. Many people have had some instances where they have talked, screamed or laughed during their sleep. While this may be quite a concern for those around you, professional guidance should be sought if you suffer from repeated instances of sleep talking.

There are still some studies done as to what exactly causes sleep talking. It can be triggered by a change in a person’s emotions, such as feelings of anger, sadness or happiness that has occurred recently. In these cases, the sleep talking should stop within a few days. However, there are also other things which can trigger this disorder.

Mental health problems, substance abuse, as well as some prescription medications have been shown to have the potential to trigger sleep talking. Some may even believe that it is caused by visitation from spirits or other super natural forces, but of course there is no credible scientific evidence to corroborate this theory.
