The act of walking in one's sleep may be articulated in one non-hyphenated word, sleepwalking; but to speak of talking while sleeping, which occurs often enough for me to ask questions about it on Tellwut (or so I believe it's that common), must be rendered in more than one word, or a hyphenated one, as I did with the title of this poll. Does that seem peculiar to you as it does to me?
Yes, at least as peculiar
