A member asked:
I have a child who talks in their sleep? what do i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talking in sleep: Almost half of the children between the ages of 3 and 10, talk in their sleep. While only about 5% of adults. So, the good news is that they will probably outgrow it. It is normal, and you can't really do anything about it. It can be a sign of sleep apnea, but rarely in children. Consult your doctor, if you are concerned about this.
