Have you ever talked in your sleep?
It's not all that uncommon to blurt something out while you're asleep only to have no recollection of it when you wake up. It's nothing to get concerned about, medically speaking. It may disturb your sleeping partner's rest, but there's no need to rush to the doctor if you begin to do it. WebMD notes that about 5% of adults have reported sleep talking.
These 13 Reddit users reveal some of the craziest things ever said during sleep, either by themselves or a friend or family member.
If I heard some of these things while I was trying to get a good night's rest, I don't know if I'd laugh or cry! Imagine waking up to a loved one staring you right in the eye and babbling nonsense.
