Sleep talking and walking

By theresa13 Thursday, February 08, 2007

Does anyone have any advice on sleep walking and talking? Ido both, and although they are more of annoyances than dangerous events, I waswondering if there are any treatments or ways to reduce/eliminate this nocturnalbehavior, short of taking prescription drugs. I have noticed that I do both themost when I am in a new environment (hotel, friends’ house, etc), as well aswhen I am under more stress than usual. Any suggestions?

I have the same issue and would love some guidance as well. I've been doing it since I was a kid and I'm 36 now.

people are more likely to do these things while very drowsy or stressed. the best thing you can do is: when sleeping in a unfamiliar place, go to bed early and get lots of rest. it's easy to stay up late at your friend house, and fun, but it increases your chances. if you're stressing, you have to overcome it.. i know that i become stressed easily, but i can also snap myself out of it easily. i just tell myself that things will be alright! and if they aren't, i'll live, and life will move on! you have to take risks and accept challenges, stressing about them is BAD for you, and it only worsens the situation. after you have a good nights sleep, you'll be more ready and awake to face this challenge that might be upsetting you. another thing that might help is meditation, you may find it weird, and it might not affect you, but it can be soothing and relaxing. it could help more than you think!
