I made recordings during the night, and this was part of what I said: Important to get enough sleep Exactly who Aurora and Ørjan are, I do not know. But if you do not want to talk in your sleep, the first commandment is to get enough sleep, says Bjorvatn. I have a bit to go on there.

Decreases with age Talking in sleep is most common in children and is something we grow out of during puberty or adulthood.

It may seem like I’m at least laughing at a good night’s sleep:
