Does anyone know what causes someone to talk in their sleep? Is it related to stress or some other type of psychological disorder?

I talk in my sleep and I suffer from depression and anxiety, so there could well be a link.

I sleep talk alot, and what my family has figured out is that mine is related to stress. Whenever Im mad about something or mad at someone I typically end up yelling at them in my sleep. My husband on the other hand talks in his sleep as well but he doesn't seem to be from stress or a psychological disorder. Just babbling.

I don't know for sure if sleep talking is related to stress but i do know that the only times I have caught myself sleep talking was after a long long day at work. Here is what happened. I use to work in resturants and one night after being totaly slammed for 13 or 14 hours I woke myself up calling orders. From my experince it was deffantly related to stress.

I am notorious in my family for doing this and occasionally sleepwalking. I have heard my sister and best friend do it too. I think a lot of times it just has to do with a dream you might be having when you're not too deep in the REM cycle. Your brain happens to be concious enough for your vocal functions to work causing you to talk nonsense.
Of course stress, anger, and depression may all be reasons you are not sleeping as well as you should.

I sleep talk a lot. I think it relates to stress or some thing bothering you. If some t hing is bothering it trigures a nerve in your brain which makes you talk.

My opinion: i swear its passed down from family... My husband and his family does it, my son, but no one in my family.
