I sleep walk and talk what dose it mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Deep sleep issue: People go through different sleep cycles during the night. Sleepwalking and sleep talking usually occurs during non-rem sleep (stages 3 or 4) early in the night. Fatigue, sleep deprivation, and anxiety are all associated with these behaviors in adults. Alcohol or medication use may also be correlated in some cases. If this is distressing or becomes dangerous, please discuss it with your doctor.
