Patient's question:
I've been under a lot of work pressure recently, especially in the past two years when jobs have been hard to find. My boss's expectations are also very high. I feel that my deep sleep quality is quite poor at night. Recently, my boyfriend mentioned that I talk in my sleep a lot. After doing some research, I found that some people call this "deep sleep epilepsy." I'd like to consult whether frequent talking in sleep is a sign of deep sleep epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
You often talk in your sleep, and it's not a type of epilepsy related to deep sleep. It may still be related to your life stress and excessive work pressure. I suggest you try to relax your mood and adjust yourself, avoid being overly mentally tense. Try not to manage overly exhausting work. Before taking a nap, avoid bowel movements or consuming stimulating foods, such as strong tea, coffee, etc. These things are beneficial for relieving mental tension and excessive pressure.
