Sleep Talking – A Reader’s Question

Hi, my name is Kristy. I have a worrying problem, every so often I
wake my partner with either light hearted “silly” remarks or actions or
harsh abuse. only a couple of times I have realised I have done something but most times I am told by morning about it. it is highly embarrassing and concerns me as some of the stuff that I have said I would never dream of saying to him.
My partner is doing well to understand I don’t mean anything
by it but I’m just wondering what’s causing it. I am very clear when it
does happen. It can not happen for a few months then it will come out of nowhere and continue for a few nights. Thank you for your time, I value any input you may have.

Hello Kristy
It sounds like a simple case of sleep talking. No one really knows what
makes some people talk in their sleep but it can be associated with
anxiety. If you are experiencing a lot of anxiety, try to work on
lessening it.
Other ways of reducing sleep talking..
Don’t eat a heavy meal just before bed
Try to go to bed and get up at the same times each day
Get enough sleep. Sleep deprived people sleep talk more often.
Hope this helps!
