Hope you guys and girls can help me like
you have helped others.
Over the last week or so I have started
singing very loudly in my sleep. It scares
the crap out the girlfriend and I don't
understand why this is happening, it
hasn't before. She describes it as
'groanyish but very long and loud'.
Nothing has changed a great deal, I'm a
bit more stressed out than usual.
It's a bit odd don't you think?

Do you have a history of talking in your
dreams?
When this singing usually appears (soon
after you fall asleep or in a middle of
it)?
Is this happening only at night or also,
when you are taking a nap in afternoons?

Singing In My Sleep Posted: 11-06-07 20:02pm
you may sing in your sleep its completly
normal. Others talk in their sleep. And
sometimes people sleep walk (I do). And it
isnt yet explained. But my answer would be
you express your dreams more than the
average person. Maybe in your dreams you
like to sing, if so then its expressed. I
know people that in their dreams they had
got mad and someone has woken them up
saying they were swearing in their sleep.
I hope this helps you.

Hi
Thanks for the reply's.
The singing can start at any point in the
night, but it usually happens in the early
hours but I can be at anytime. However,
once I've been woken, it does not happen
again.
I have been known to talk in my sleep, I'm
a light snorer but this has all stopped
since I've started to serenade my
girlfriend in my sleep (she's an musician
and doesn't really appreciate my talents
)
I don't have afternoon naps or any
reoccuring dreams, but when I do dream it
can be very vivid.
Life is a bit of a struggle at the moment,
I do have a few financial troubles but
generally things are fine.
Thanks for your comments catjack, a friend
of mine is a loud swearer so it looks like
these are linked in some way.
Any more help is apprecited

Hi Griggers! Posted: 11-12-07 04:22am
I think you'll find next informations
helpful.
Sleep talking or somniloquy is often
accompanied by muttering or speaking
during sleep. There are times when
speaking and muttering is accompanied by
moaning, singing and shouting.
The causes for this can be anxiety
disorder, fever, sleep disorders like
obstructive apnea syndrome, sleep walking
or REM sleep behavior disorder.
Has you girlfriend noticed that you are
choking or gasping during sleep to get
air?
Are you loud snoring?
Can you think of sudden awakenings to
restart breathing?
Do you usually wake up in a sweat during
the night?
Do you feel unrefreshed in the morning
after a night’s sleep?
Are you experiencing headaches, sore
throat, or dry mouth in the mornings after
waking up?
Do you have daytime sleepiness, including
falling asleep at inappropriate times,
such as during driving or at work?
In a person with REM sleep behavior
disorder (RBD), the paralysis that
normally occurs during REM sleep is
incomplete or absent, allowing the person
to "act out" his or her dreams. RBD is
characterized by the acting out of dreams
that are vivid, intense, and violent. 55%
of the cases are with unknown reason, and
in 45%, the cause is associated with
alcohol or sedative-hypnotic withdrawal.
Are you take some medicines like sleeping
pills?

Hi Mandm's Posted: 11-12-07 08:22am
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Come to think of it, I have woken up a
number of times gasping for breath and
when I go to drink some water I cannot
swallow it down as normal, I should have
really mentioned this.
I do also wake up in the early hours and
it's not nice, I'm almost in a confused
state as if I need to do something (go to
the toilet, move to a more comfortable
position) and my brain feels awake rather
than sleepy. I have been known to sleep
talk aswell...
As am I out of work I manage to get some
good sleep and I don't often feel tired in
the day. I tend to snore loudly after
alcohol. I do smoke cannabis and this
helps me sleep but I'm no other medication
apart from that.
The singing has not happend as much
recentley.

You are welcome.
Sleep apnea is a condition in which the
airway becomes temporarily blocked during
sleep and you'll start to choke or gasp
during sleep to get air.
Don't relay on cannabis and other
substances to obtain falling asleep easily
and good sleep. It'll cause you sleep
disturbance later.
