Reasons for sleep talk and sleepwalking

Sleeptalking (sleeptalking) is also translated as sleep talk, which refers to the phenomenon of talking during sleep. According to the research of psychologists, dream talk has nothing to do with dreaming at all. Because almost all the phenomenon of talking in sleep occurs during the sleeping stage, and you will not dream in the sleeping stage.

Therefore, this term should not be called sleep talk, but should be called "sleep talk" to be worthy of its name. The reason for the sleep talk is not yet known for sure.

Sleepwalking is the weird phenomenon of getting out of bed by oneself during sleep, and then returning to bed to continue sleeping. Although this phenomenon is called sleepwalking, it has nothing to do with dreaming. Because, according to the records of the brain wave diagram, the brain waves of the patient during sleepwalking are showing in stages 3 and 4 of sleep; it shows that it is the stage of sleep. You can't dream during the sleep phase. Therefore, the term "walking in sleep" is more in line with the facts.

Sleepwalkers are mostly children, mostly between 6-12 years old. Sleepwalking is not a serious illness, nor is it related to emotional distress. Most of them are "cured" without medical treatment in adulthood. The sleepwalker is still asleep during the action after getting out of bed. After waking up, he doesn't know anything about his actions at night.

The strange phenomenon of sleepwalking is that the person involved can engage in very complex activities during the action, open the door to the street, take equipment, avoid obstacles, and avoid collision and injury. After the activity is over, go back to bed on your own and continue to sleep.

A few years ago, a boy in a dormitory at Taipei Normal University, sleepwalking at night, unexpectedly removed the lampshade from the ceiling on the double bed and never fell under the bed and was injured. If there is a sleepwalking child in your home, don't worry too much, just pay attention to the safety of your home and lock the door carefully at night.

As for the cause of sleepwalking, it is still unclear. Only according to research by psychologists, there are often other family members of sleepwalkers who also sleepwalk. Therefore, sleepwalking may be genetically related. There was a case in which a family was reunited during a holiday and stayed in separate beds in each room at night. The next morning, it was discovered that the whole family was sleeping in the living room without knowing it.
