Did you know? Sleep Talking/Walking

Did you know that sleep talking is actually a breakthrough of dream speech as it usually happens during the REM sleep cycle – when you are dreaming.  The person doesn’t have any memory of what’s said as full consciousness is not achieved!

Sleep walking is getting out of bed in a state of incomplete wakefulness and even though the eyes might be open, they are not focusing.  If the person doesn’t wake up during the sleep walk, they won’t remember it happening.  This is extremely common in up to 40% of children with peak incidence at 12 years of age.

I used to sleep walk when I was around 8 years old.  My husband occasionally sleep talks.
