“Pip pup pup pup pup pup pup pup pup pup pup pup pup pup pup pup pup pup psssssssss,” Rosenberg says about a minute and a half into the video.
Because most people aren’t aware whether they do it or not, it’s difficult to put a number to exactly how common sleep talking is.
Some experts suspect the behavior may run in families. Others suspect stress, depression, sleep deprivation, daytime drowsiness, alcohol, fever or other sleep sleep disorders could all be potential causes of sleep talking. And if the episodes do become severe or problematic, the National Sleep Foundation recommends individuals talk to their physician or health care provider to determine if one of these underlying problems is the cause and needs to be dealt with.
“So what does it all mean? Is there a significance to all the things I say in my sleep?” Rosenberg asks at the end of the video. “Or is it just meaningless rambling ? the insignificant reflex of an unconscious mind?”
You’ll have to watch the video to find out the answer.
