Losing Sleep

by Anonymous
(New Hampshire)

I am a 20 year old female and for the past few years (as far as I know at least since I was 14) I have been talking and walking in my sleep.

Lately, it seems as if it is getting worse. My boyfriend said I woke up in the middle of the night last night and had a 30-45 minute long conversation with him, which I do not remember AT ALL. I am waking up exhausted every morning. I am unable to take time out of work to go see a doctor during the week. I am not sure if there are any doctors that run on the weekends (I highly doubt it).

Anyone have any suggestions of how to keep my mouth shut at night?




Hello,

We have a page on our site that's all about sleep talking. I'm going to refer you to some helpful information on sleep talking treatment. I think the tips there will be useful for you and may be able to aid you in getting back to restful sleep.

I also hope that by sharing your story here you can get useful feedback from other visitors who have had similar experiences.


Warmly,

Jordan

A Note On Visitor-Submitted Questions:

Publishing sleep stories and questions from our visitors is meant to create a forum for open and proactive dialogue about an extremely important portion of our lives (one that occupies 1/3 of it and affects the other 2/3). It is not meant to substitute a trip to the doctor or the advice of a specialist. It's good to talk; it is not good to avoid consulting someone who's profession it is to help you with this kind of stuff.

If you are in any way concerned about your sleep health, don't wait for an answer on here, and don't necessarily rely on them. See a sleep specialist in your area as soon as possible.
