Is it normal for young children to talk in their sleep at night?

Patient's question:

Is it normal for young children to talk in their sleep at night? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take to get better? Please help me!

Doctor's answer:

Too excited before bed, insufficient sleep like being disturbed while sleeping soundly, and sleepwalking caused by high daytime activity. Sleep on time without disturbance, avoid excitement before bed, and children who are overly playful may experience this phenomenon. Gradually adjust the bedtime to move earlier. For babies who go to bed late and wake up late, wake them up 10–15 minutes earlier each day than the previous day. This can gradually shift their sleep time forward while gradually adjusting their daytime feeding and nap schedules. Avoid scheduling naps within 4 hours before bedtime to prevent difficulty falling asleep at night.
