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 they need to be treated in the hospital? How long does the treatment take to be effective? Please help me!

Doctor's answer:

Too excited before bed, insufficient sleep like being disturbed while sleeping soundly, and night wandering caused by high daytime activity. Sleep on time and don't disturb once asleep. Avoid excitement before bed, as children who are overly playful may experience this phenomenon. Gradually adjust the bedtime earlier. For late-to-bed, late-to-rise babies, wake them up 10-15 minutes earlier each day than the previous day. This can gradually shift their sleep time forward, while also gradually adjusting their daytime feeding and nap schedules. Avoid napping within 4 hours before bedtime to prevent difficulty falling asleep at night.
