Somniloquy, somniloquy or sleepy speech is a parasomnia referred to when speaking aloud during sleep. It can be quite strong, ranging from simple sounds to long speeches, and occurring one or several times during sleep. The listeners can understand, or not, what the sleeping person is saying.
Sleeping talking usually occurs during a transient awakening of non-MOR / REM sleep. It may also occur during REM / REM sleep, in which case it represents a sleep speech motor translation (the words spoken in the dream are pronounced out loud). The somnÃlocuo is not aware of his own vocalization and his discourse does not relate between the real and the unreal.

Research has shown that it is generally not something interesting, but rather, mostly, they are meaningless speeches and with a short duration of 1 to 2 seconds. However, it is a fascinating act if we consider the ways in which it develops.
