Sleeptalking

My flatmate starts talking during her sleep at certain times of the night; thinking she's a soldier fighting during the Second World War; and quite often talking about a "cream monster" under her bed.
I also tried communicating with her, but she seemed quite unresponsive to outer dialogue...

Has this happened to you as well? Did you do anything to solve it?
Is this a sleep disorder that should be cured or is it just a result of burnout/stress?

I got told that I sleeptalked when I was sharing a room on a school trip, apparently I was talking a lot of nonsense in what sounded like a strange tribal language...I also was sleeptalking when I was younger, my mum tried to wake me up and I tried to hit her! (in my sleep lol)

I think it can just be because of overtiredness/stress, or just reflects what you're dreaming about ... unless its a serious problem best just to ignore it i guess!

I have images of you staring at her in her sleep...

maybe with a bible saying prayers and flicking her with holy water.

I think the vast majority of people sleeptalk at some point in their lives.

I always sleep talk, especially if I fall asleep on the sofa.

Theres not much you can do about it really, chances are she wont remember doing it anyway!

I'm terrible at it. I wake my boyf up all the time by tapping him on the shoulder saying "What tune's playing" Or "Boxer shorts" or "Why did you have to go to the loo" or "It's an ANT!!!".

Once I sat up in bed and did a complete car lease quote (used to work in this field) from start to finish.

I'm a bit touched in the mind.

On a school trip for our Bio A level I heard one of the girls in our room saying all the seaweed and periwinkle species names. She got them right too! A few of my friends sleeptalk- sometimes it's nonsense, sometimes it's coherent. It seems quite common.

Brilliant! I thought I was bad waking Sarah up to tell her to click Wikipedia links or to go "DOCTORS IN AUSTRALIA!"

Perhaps the exclamation brings our sleep into lucidity. So, realising the incongruency between the perceived reality fo sleep and reality itself, we wake ourselves up and instantly forget the dream that had spurned such random phrases. I'd be fascinated to find out the storylines!

Apparently i sleep talk, My ex used to tell me he could hold conversations with me while i slept, my current boyf tells me it is most its gobbledegook, but he tells me other stuff i do i my sleep that is actually quite scary. For example sitting bolt upright, with my eyes open(is if im awake, but i'm not) yelling some nonsense, then going straight back to sleep again. I also used to sleep walk, which used to really worry my mum when i was little cos living on the top floor of our house i somehow managed to make my way down two flights of stairs perfectly safely. I'm obviously a weird sleeper.

I was once staying in a room with 3 other people and in the morning was told that this other girl and I had had a conversation, both of us asleep, neither of us knew anything about it. Was so weird. Hehe.

I sometimes sleeptalk. I think your everyday lives affect on how you sleep and this is you trying to work stuff out in your head. Although I don't think I've done it for a while. Best thing to do is just leave them alone because you can get hurt if you wake someone up like that.

My mum sleep talks, but a bit differently to you guys. She will be asleep, then she will start to make conversation with you, if you are not looking at her eyes, you can't even tell if she is asleep or not. I have had like whole 5 minute conversations with her, and then only for her to wake up the next morning and not remember it at all!!!

I often sleep talk. According to my boyfriend I was sleep singing once. But I remember that dream, and I was trying to explain to him what a Louis Vuitton bag looked like. Fairly strange.

I sleeptalk as well-quite embarrassing on school trips as I can hold a conversation, then go off on some random tangent. I don't think you can cure sleeptalking as such, it seems to come and go and some people grow out of it, or it just disappears

My brother's sleep talked several times before, mostly crap and usually incoherent. When I've tried talking to him while he's doing it it just wakes him up. Bugger.

Not sure what you can do about it but i sleeptalk quite a lot aparantly! I used to do it all the time but i don't do it as much anymore. My boyfriend gets really annoyed because i make funny chomping noises when i'm asleep and i start mumbling/talking about random stuff :confused:

oopsie lol :redface:

He talks about really random stuff when he is half asleep/awake and when i try to talk to him back he knows he said something but can't remember what he was saying! I do that sometimes too. So wierd lol
