Question
So this is my first boyfriend that i now live with, and ever since we have been living together he always tells me about me talking in my sleep. Usually its no big deal i say off the wall things that have no meaning what so ever, but last night i said i missed one of my ex-boyfriends. That was all i said 'I miss Steven'. By me saying this in my sleep i have upset my boyfriend and myself, i know i don't miss my ex but why would i say this. What does this mean?
Answer
I suggest since you are talking in your sleep its because you are not used to living with someone 24-7 next to you. And you are not sleeping as deep. try this. 3 hours before your bedtime stay away from caffeine, tea, coffee, caramel colored soda like coke and pepsi and ginger ale. chocolate and exercise all this make for restless sleep. 30 min before sleep take a hot bath, and l5 minutes before bedtime drink a glass of warm plain milk. milk when heated contains tryptophan a natural amino acid sleep inducer so glass will make you sleep deeper and talk no more. relax thinking about not doing it will only bring it on more. You probably in your subconscious are comparing what those boyfriends would have been like if you lived with them. Moving in after being asleep alone most of your life is a new adjustment to both. He may start saying girls names. Its an adjustment and means nothing. so let him read this. Good luck. feel free to email again karel
