Many parents notice that their children talk in their sleep.
Some chat a little and quietly, while others conduct discussions loudly and emotionally.
In most cases, such conversations should not cause concern. To further calm you down, we will answer the most popular questions on this topic.
Why do children talk in their sleep?
Usually, sleep talking is just an echo of daytime activity. The brain continues to process information even at night, and a child may begin to talk during light sleep without realizing it. Sometimes sleep talking can be caused by stress.
Is it necessary to somehow influence the child?
No, unless you notice the situation is getting worse, with sleep talking being accompanied by sleep disturbances and the child not getting enough sleep. In that case, it is worth visiting a pediatrician or child psychiatrist for advice.
Should you react in any way to words spoken by a child in a dream?
No. In most cases, children do not control their sleep talking and forget about it in the morning.
Is it possible to reduce the number of episodes when a child talks in his sleep?
Yes, it is possible. The child will sleep more peacefully if you create comfortable conditions for him: quiet activities before bed, a dark room, optimal temperature and humidity, comfortable bed linen.
