A room mate can have many appealing qualities, but talking in their sleep at night would not be considered one. Why do some people have a habit of talking in their sleep while others don’t? It comes down to a mechanism in the brain which is associated with controlling, or guiding certain neural activity. This allows the person to dream, but without speaking or moving.<\/p>\n
When the brain mechanism is not perfect, it does not completely kill the actual talking and moving responses triggered by a dream. While not all the signals will be passed through a fair amount do make it and cause the sleeping person to mumble, maybe groan a bit or at times even very clearly say things while they are technically still asleep.<\/p>\n
This is the reason why sleep walking also gets triggered. researchers believe that a person who is under severe stress can have psychological problems which lead to the lack of this neural activity to control the speaking or moving around of a person in sleep. There is no clear evidence on how much stress will trigger this, and if it will affect everyone the same way. That is a study for another science project<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A room mate can have many appealing qualities, but talking in their sleep at night would not be considered one.
