I searched and I didn't really find anything like this.

So, most of you may undergo strange things in your sleep. Snoring, twitching, talking, walking...sound familiar?

Here's some more information:

Hypnic Jerk (aka Twitching in your sleep): A hypnic or hypnagogic jerk is an involuntary muscle twitch (more generally known as myoclonus or a myoclonic twitch) which often occurs during the transition from wakefulness to sleep (see hypnagogia). It is often described as an electric shock or falling sensation, and can cause movement of the body in bed. Hypnic jerks are completely normal, and are experienced by most people, especially when over-tired or sleeping uncomfortably.

Snoring: Snoring is the act of breathing through the open mouth in such a way as to cause a vibration of the uvula and soft palate, thus giving rise to a sound which may vary from a soft noise to a loud unpleasant sound. This most commonly occurs during sleep.

The cause of snoring is some kind of blockage in the breathing passage. Those blockages can be of many kinds—here are just a few:

Tongue falling into the throat
Allergies
Throat weakness causing the throat to close during sleep
Mispositioned jaw, often caused by tension in muscles
Fat gathering in, and around, the throat
When the airflow in the breathing passage becomes irregular due to a blockage the soft palate may start flapping. This flapping of the soft palate is what makes the snoring sound.

Numerical statistics on snoring are often contradictory, but at least 30% of the adult population and perhaps as many as 50% of people in some demographics snore. [1] [2]

Snoring is usually an involuntary act, but may also be produced voluntarily.

According to Dr. William C Dement, of the Stanford Sleep Center, anyone who snores and has daytime drowsiness should be evaluated for sleep disorders.

Somniloquy (aka Sleep talking): Somniloquy or sleep-talking is a parasomnia that refers to talking aloud in one's sleep. It can be quite loud, ranging from simple sounds to long speeches, and can occur many times during sleep. Listeners may or may not be able to understand what the person is saying.

Sleep-talking usually occurs during transitory arousals from NREM sleep. It can also occur during REM sleep at which time it represents a motor breakthrough (see sleep paralysis) of dream speech (the words spoken in a dream are uttered out loud). Full consciousness is not achieved and the sleep talker is not aware of his/her vocal output.

Sleep-talking can occur by itself or as a feature of another sleep disorder such as:

REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) - loud, emotional or profane sleep talking
Sleepwalking
Night terrors - intense fear, screaming, shouting
Sleep-related eating disorder (SRED)
Sleep-talking is very common and is reported in 50% of young children, with most of them outgrowing it by puberty, although it may persist into adulthood (about 5% of adults are reported to talk in their sleep). It appears to run in families.

Sleep-talking by itself is harmless and the content should be taken lightly, however it can wake up others and cause them consternation—especially when misinterpreted as conscious speech by an observer. If the sleep-talking is dramatic, emotional or profane it may be a sign of another sleep disorder (see above). Sleep-talking can be monitored by a partner or by using an audio recording device; devices which remain idle until detecting a soundwave are ideal for this purpose.

One famous sleep talker is Dion McGregor, a man who became something of an underground celebrity when his roommate Michael Barr recorded his nightly soliloquies (which were often hilariously detailed), which were then released as a series of albums in the 60's.

Sleep walking: Sleepwalking (also called noctambulism or somnambulism), under the larger category of parasomnias, is a sleep disorder where the sufferer engages in activities that are normally associated with wakefulness while asleep or in a sleeplike state.

Periodic leg movements: during sleep are kicking movements of the legs which occur every 20-90 seconds all during the night and may disturb the normal sleep of both the sleeper and the bed partner.

As for me, I twitch in my sleep...or so I've been told.

I'm an insomniac!

I'm a heavy sleeper once I *get* to sleep. And I'm definetely not a morning person.

No habits or anything while I'm sleeping though..


- James.

well from what people tell me, i just sleep
i dont do anything while i sleep. ahaha. but i do move around alot and steal the blankets
i used to talk in my sleep when i was little and kick
and once i slept walked.
my bf twitches when he is falling asleep and he snores a little
i think its cute.

Idk. I dont snore, or talk though, which is good... I guess.
But I'm definitely with James (Jamwllms) on this one. I am an insomniac... And when I actually do get to sleep, I'm a heavy sleeper.
Mornings are stupid. haha

Gah, it mush be true then. I am a flower boy Especially if i'm talking about it in my sleep.

You were laughing!? Wow, thats funny but freaky at the same time O_o
You must be dangerous to sleep with, if you kick, move and end up in weird positions. But I like that!

^ See, I told you it was twue!

Yeah, when I woke up laughing I kinda freaked myself out aswell O_o

Dangerous to sleep with? MOI?!? *teehee*. Oh, but you like that? You'd probably think differently if you spent the night with me ....... but then again......
maybe you wouldn't O_o

Apparently I sleep walk and sleep talk. I've had friends crash at my house and they always tell me that I'll like sit up and look around the game room (while asleep) and I'll focus on them and then mumble a bunch of gibberish @ them, then I go back to sleep. They always tell me it freaks them out lol..

i snore and talk also a heavy sleeper.. i can sleep through fireworks and gun shots

I've noticed that when I fall asleep in class or such, my arm twitches.
Not as in a little twitch, but kind of a mid-arm-flying-across-the-room twitch. But no one has ever noticed, haha.

My mom claims I talk in my sleep. I don't know. Everyone else in my family snores.

Yeah it seems like it is dangerous to sleep with you and I would love that because this panda chan can tame you, just as you can tame me If I spent the night with you then I know 100% that I would want to spend every night with ya!

Vuuury light.

I'm most definitely a twitcher.

You think you could tame me? Hmm well good for you Ah, I bet you'd be a push over.....oh, and you know 100%? Gosh.

Well last night was really hot *phew* I hardly slept. Hehe I don't really think that the amount of tossing and turning I did really helped.

I Sleep walk. I also sit up and look around the room when I'm asleep, and if someone's in the room and doing something, I stare at them and mumble a bunch of stuff that they can't understand. I've been told by friends and family that it creeps the hell out of them. I think it's kinda funny. Also I tend to move a lot and kick haha.

I've been told that I am a snorer. i sometimes am a deep sleeper.

i dont make noises or anything...i just move around a lot

I used to be a sleep talker, but now it's more of a mumble. I remember this one time in class when I fell asleep during a film and my friend tried to wake me up, but I just said mumbled something random and went back to sleep. Funny shtuff.

Oh and I occasionally snore when I'm really tired and in a deep sleep.

I usually twitch, kick and talk in my sleep, and if my allergies are really bad I snore. Sometimes my parents can understand what im saying too..

That would be really creepy.

I kick.. mumble.. Often fall OFF my bed, lol.

My mum said when I was little I used to sing in my sleep, she recorded it a few times

I've never sleep walked, I don't think.

I guess I should consider myself lucky.

I used to grind my teeth in my sleep when I was younger, maybe 5-6 years old

I don't do it anymore though

I've been told I snore, so I'd have to go with 'snorer'.

^^ damn straight.

i`m also a talker.

i'm a deep sleeper for everything except my phone...

uhh i don't really have any bad habits except for insomnia.

im not fun to sleep with
especially if it's a small area
cause i have complaints that i kept kicking the people and pushing and nudging
i dont mean to.. i guess just cause i feel so squished i need to move around


but getting to sleep.that is the hard part.
even if i want to sleep. i end up sitting in bed for like 2 hours..then i watch a movie..but i fall asleep during that.. so i guess that's good.

but once i fall asleep i could stay asleep forever
even if i have things to do i'm always the "5 more minutes mom" kind of person.
cept im not telling it to my mom..im telling it to me..and im not saying 5. im saying 30
