Patient's question:
Recently, he has been talking in his sleep two or three times throughout the night, with no unusual physical symptoms or gastrointestinal issues. When he talks in his sleep, he doesn't cry or fuss, and after finishing, he continues to sleep soundly. He has never been treated for this. How should it be treated? Does talking in his sleep affect his development and growth? Or is it a sign of some illness?Doctor's answer:
Babies talking in their sleep is caused by the movement of nerve cells in the brain responsible for language during deep sleep. Many of the actions during dreams are brought about by the movement of nerve cells in the brain that control motor functions. Generally, when babies sleep, many light movements are normal, and their speech is also normal. It is recommended to establish a regular sleep routine for the baby and avoid telling horror stories before bed. The above advice is for the question "Why do young children often talk in their sleep at night?" and is hoped to be helpful. Wishing you good health!
