I have always talked in my sleep from being a child, however, it has progressed from random mumbling as a child to loud conversations etc nightly, random sleep walking, lucid dreaming, and hallucinations or maybe even ghosts.

My husband says it is sometimes like talking to me during the day, I look and act wide awake but I do not recall it when I wake up. Sometimes I remember doing things, remember my dreams etc, most of the time I don't.

I never feel rested when I wake, I have tried going to bed later and getting up earlier, having more sleep than usual, not eating late, drinking milk, all sorts, but I feel the only options left are medication or sleep studies.

It is affecting me daily now, I have headaches everyday despite wearing my glasses, I am beginning to get moody and depressed, my husband gets very little sleep because of me and I feel it is also affecting my relationship.

I was told it may have something to do with my hormones as I had a baby 7 months ago, but how can it be when it has always been this way? The only difference now is that I also dream of my child, mainly i dream of her vommitting or being on our bed which cause me to sit upright very quickly which results in me waking up and waking my husband at the same time.

Please help me, it is beginning to get to me now.

I look forward to your reply.
