Reasons why you should immediately take your partner or friend who is having severe sleep talking while having a good night's sleep to the hospitalㅠㅠ

Wow, severe sleep talking or kicking during sleep increases the risk of developing dementia or Parkinson's disease within 10 years.ㅠ

I need to pay close attention to how adults sleep.

People who talk in their sleep while trying to fall asleep are found to have a higher risk of dementia. Generally, individuals with poor sleep habits or sleep disorders are at greater risk of developing dementia or Parkinson's disease.

Experts advise visiting a nearby hospital if you experience kicking during sleep, snoring, or sleep apnea.

This is because in cases of suspected dementia patients, it is known that they often have poor sleep habits or talk in their sleep.

Patients who experience severe sleep disorders such as loud sleep talking or kicking during sleep have been found to have a nearly 70% chance of developing dementia or Parkinson's disease within 10 years if left untreated. Seoul Sleep Center Director Han Jin-kyu emphasized, "Diagnosis and treatment considering the correlation between snoring and various diseases are necessary," and added, "If you snore more than 3 to 4 times a week and show symptoms of stroke or diabetes, it is advisable to visit a nearby hospital first."

He explained that "normally, during REM sleep, the motor inhibition area inside the brainstem is active, resulting in a state of deep sleep without movement."

He also added, "In cases where there is a disease of the brainstem or Parkinson's disease with impaired motor control in the brainstem, the normal muscle paralysis during REM sleep is diminished," and "Severe sleep talking or movements during sleep can actually be caused, leading to REM sleep behavior disorder."
