Any therapy for sleep talking?


Question:
I'm 21 yrs old and have started to talk in my sleep recently. I'm afraid that I'll blurt out somethings which I don't want to say.
Is there any way to stop me from doing this?

Answers:
Sleep talking is the utterance of speech or sounds without awareness of the event. Sometimes you can even hold conversations with someone who is sleep talking. Sleep talking episodes are not associated with awareness of talking. Sleep recordings show episodes of sleep talking that can occur in any stage of sleep.

Sleepwalking can run in the family, but sometimes suggests the presence of other problems, such as sleep apnea. It can be associated with other health disorders such as, psychiatric, anxiety, as well as other sleep disorders like sleepwalking, sleep apnea, or REM sleep behavior disorder. What some people think are common causes of sleep talking are lack of sleep, stress, fever, extreme distress or even pain or sever trauma.

Since nobody is really sure what causes sleep talking, there is no proven cure.
