Question

Is it normal for young children to speak in their sleep? Do they need medical treatment? How long does the treatment process take? Please help!

Answer

Excessive excitement before bedtime, insufficient sleep, or being disturbed while sleeping soundly can lead to night talking. Overactive daytime activities can also cause sleepwalking. Make sure to let the child sleep undisturbed if they fall asleep on time. Avoid exciting activities before bed, as children’s natural curiosity can lead to this phenomenon. Gradually move up the bedtime earlier. For babies who go to bed late and wake up late, wake them up 10-15 minutes earlier each day than the previous day to gradually advance their sleep time. Additionally, adjust the baby’s feeding and nap times during the day. Avoid scheduling naps within four hours before bedtime to prevent difficulties falling asleep at night.
