Years ago, a girlfriend of mine used to talk… and talk… and talk… She was queen of the talkers. It didn’t stop even when she was asleep! Maybe she was trying to tell me something (?) or maybe she just couldn’t stop talking. Anyway, her talking in her sleep was confounded by me sleeping in her talk when she was awake and the relationship soon floundered.
Sleep talking and hypnosis
Since those happy times I have successfully treated many sleep talkers with hypnosis – much to the relief of their partners and the vociferously afflicted themselves. After all, your voice needs to rest when you sleep as much as any other part of you. I’ve often thought of my chattering ex and wished I had been an adept in the use of hypnosis when we were together… who knows… Naaa… it wouldn’t have worked anyway!
Talking in your sleep and stress
Sleep talking can occur in slow-wave sleep – just the part of sleep you are supposed to get the most rest from. It can also happen while you are dreaming in REM sleep. It is most likely to occur when we are more stressed than usual. The content can be complete gobbledygook or articulate but without context. My long ago girlfriend would talk weirdly about tangerine golf clubs and speckled soapy bar flies! It was like listening to The Beatles coming up with new song titles for one of their later albums. Of course, sometimes it would take me a while to twig she was actually asleep during these extended monologues.
I have created a hypnotic session for hypnosisdownloads.com aimed at quietening the part of the mind that produces the talking. The hypnosis is also there to calm the mind generally for better sleep and to lessen day to day stress – a causal factor in sleep talking.
So many people have restless sleep, thrashing around and not being still and quiet. This session should get people sleeping more soundly and… more quietly.
Sleep well.
