Normally, when you dream your brain deactivates your motor neurons so that your limbs do not move while you dream. For this, powerful Neuro-Transmitters are released. But if there’s a failure in releasing the Neuro-Transmitters, your body makes some movements. Such as moving the lips, and vocal cords, which causes you to talk while sleeping.
Generally, sleep-talking has been linked to high levels of stress and anxiety, and alcohol, caffeine, and a lot of screen time right before going to bed increase the chances of sleep-talking.
