Sleep Talk A Lot And Don't Remember Dreaming

by Danielle
(Australia)

Hi,

I have been told that I sleep talk frequently and at least every fortnight I wake my friend up telling her something is in the room, someone has told us to leave, etc. Other times I will just talk either gibberish or carry out a conversation that is understandable but makes no sense.

I never remember dreams that I have--over the space of a year there would only be a handful of times I can actually recall having a dream.

I am always tired and even wake up feeling tired. I have spoken to my doctor about always been tired but he said to get a usual sleeping pattern, read before bed and such, which I always do anyway.

Should I see a sleep specialist?




Hi Danielle,

Thank you for sharing with us. I'm going to refer you to our page on sleep talking treatment.

Some of the information there will be familiar to you I'm sure, but I hope you will find it helpful.

As far as seeing a specialist goes, that's completely up to you, but we do sincerely hope that you take the actions you feel are necessary to attaining restful sleep.


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.
