10 Terrifying Things That Can Happen To You Whilst Sleeping

Finally, the mildest on this list is the act of sleep talking. Most of the population sleep talk at least once in their life and are unaware that they are doing it unless a partner or someone in the same vicinity points it out to them.

Sleep talking is mostly innocent and can lead to some comedic responses in which the awake and the sleeper can have a conversation whilst the latter has no idea it is happening.

It can vary from complicated monologues to gibberish sounds that only last a few seconds. It can either be quiet and hardly audible or be a loud shout that wakes others up. Sleep talking is harmless and tends to not lead on to any other sleep disorders. There is not a common cure for it but it can lead to some pretty funny voice recordings if the sleeper knows they regular talk.

Like night terrors and sleep walking, talking occurs in the NREM/ Non Rapid Eye Movement of sleep as the muscles are not paralyzed during this stage, meaning the sufferer can get stuck in this part and begin to walk, talk or see things that aren't there.
