Sleep talking happens during rest.
Sleep talking, also called somniloquy, is when a person speaks while asleep without knowing it. It can happen during any stage of sleep, but it’s most common during lighter stages. Sometimes it’s just a few mumbled words, and other times it might sound like complete sentences. Sleep talking can be caused by stress, lack of sleep, or even having a vivid dream.
Our brain is still active when we sleep.
Even when we’re asleep, parts of our brain stay active. If the areas that control speech “wake up” just a little, they can send signals to our mouth and vocal cords, causing us to talk. Usually, sleep talk doesn’t make much sense because the brain isn’t fully awake to form clear thoughts. Most of the time, it’s harmless and stops on its own.
