Sleep talking explained: Why does the brain make us speak while asleep

The record

Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.

Sleep talking occurs when brain areas responsible for language remain active while mechanisms meant to keep the body quiet during sleep are inactive.
The phenomenon involves mumbling, laughter, or disjointed speech rather than coherent conversation.
Researchers note that sleep talking is common among children and often linked to periods of exhaustion.
Most episodes are harmless and generally decrease as individuals age.
