The content of sleep talking is often similar to usual thinking, Sleep talking is a quality tendency. According to research, falling asleep does not mean that the brain will rest, but will become more active.
After falling asleep, people will enter a light sleep period (dreaming at this time) and a deep sleep period (eyeball movement slows down).
The light sleep period and the deep sleep period form a cycle. The first cycle time is shorter and the second cycle time is longer. In the deep sleep period of the third cycle, there may be sleepwalking or sleep talking.
When a person sleeps, the brain rests, but a certain part of the nerve cells may not rest.
This is the time when a person does not sleep deeply. Because nerve cells are still active, people will have dreams.
If the part of nerve cells responsible for speech is still in a state of excitement, they will direct people to speak. This is a dream talk.
The expression of dream talk is very inconsistent.
It can be just the silent movement of the lips or the murmur of murmurs.
It can be a few words with unclear articulation and weird tones, or fluent speech and singing with impeccable vocalization and grammar. It can also be laughing, crying, lamenting, moaning, cheering, roaring, etc.
