“That was quite an interesting conversation you were having last night,” my roommate, Natasha, said as she handed me my morning coffee. What conversaion? Had I forgotten the event in a case of drunken amnesia(失忆)? Natasha’s naughty grin told me that, if I had, my memory would be embarrassing.

I’m not alone. According to a 2004 poll by the National Sleep Foundation, approximately 5 percent of adults and more than10 percent of children converse in their sleep on a regular basis. Many more have occasional series of sleep talking, or somniloquy(说梦话). The study showed no correleation(关联) between sleep talking and gender, but did suggest that the habit may run in families.
Data on the subject is elusive, however, since most people who do talk in their sleep don’t remember it afterward. They only realize that they are somniloquists if people around them alert them to the fact. So if you live alone, you may be a sleep talker and not even know it.
Sleep talking is usually nothing more than a harmless phenomenon with no greater consequence than distrubing your partner’s shut-eye. No one is exactly sure what causes somniloquy, but experts believe it to be an evolutionary response to stress. Stress can cause an interruption in sleep patterns and lead to REM sleep behavior disorder(RBD), symptoms of which are sleep talking, night terrors, sleep walking, and sleep eating.
If your sleep talking is not associated with anything like bad dreams or unexplained weight gain, it is probably nothing. But if you experience any of these, you may want to consider reducing your levels of stress and seeking advice of a sleep specialist.
