Question
Is it normal for young children to talk in their sleep at night? Do they need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long does it take for the treatment to work? Please help me!
Answer
It’s normal for children to talk in their sleep if they are too excited before bedtime, haven’t had enough sleep, or have been disturbed. This could be due to overactivity during the day leading to sleepwalking dreams. Ensuring they go to bed on time and are not disturbed during sleep is important. Additionally, reducing excitement factors is crucial. This phenomenon is quite common in children who love to play. Gradually moving up bedtime can help solve this problem. For babies who go to bed late and wake up late, gradually waking them up 10-15 minutes earlier each day can adjust their sleep schedule gradually. At the same time, also gradually adjust the baby’s daytime feeding and nap times. Avoid scheduling naps within four hours before bedtime to prevent difficulty falling asleep at night.
