Sleep Talking

[kat22gr]

Several times a week, and on occasion several times in one night, I wake up talking in my sleep. I usually continue to talk in semi wakefulness and only stop when I am fully alert. It’s then extremely difficult to get back to sleep.
Is there anything I can do to stop the sleep talking?

Sleep talking is usually associated with what is know as a partial arousal disorder, meaning that parts of your brain can wake during the night while the conscious part of the brain remains asleep. There is no actual treatment for sleep talking however improving your sleep may reduce the occurrence of the episodes.
