We all talk in our sleep occasionally. But for the person who constantly does it, sleep talking can be quite embarrassing and humiliating. Although this condition is harmless and generally occurs during a vivid dream, if your nocturnal chatting is getting too much for those around you, here are some simple ways on how to stop talking in your sleep.

What causes sleep talking (also known as somniloquy)? It is believed that people who are in a stressed or anxious state of mind are more likely to sleep talk than others who are more relaxed. Somniloquy also often occurs during an illness, when your body’s immune system is weakened.

Your top priority is to get yourself into the habit of sleeping for the same number of hours every night. If you can get 10 hours of quality sleep nightly, you will soon be experiencing the benefits of long, restful sleep, which will go a long way to reduce your sleep talking.

The benefits of a getting into the habit of having a good night’s sleep are twofold: the first is that you won’t be going to bed worrying about that early alarm clock - you’ll be good and ready to wake. The other benefit is that your stress levels will reduce, your anxiety will decrease, and you’ll be less prone to sleep talking.

A big no-no is eating a heavy meal before bed time. If your stomach is too full, you are likely to get indigestion which will disturb your sleep pattern and disrupt your sleep. Reduce the size of your meals by eating smaller portions four times a day, instead of the traditional three meals.

To decrease feelings of anxiousness and to reduce stress, you should get your mind used to thinking good thoughts. Whenever you get the chance, go for a brisk half hour walk, or do some meditation or yoga. The secret to good sleep is to keep psychologically relaxed in the day, and physically and mentally relaxed during the evening.
