Ever since my seizures went from tonic-clonic to complex partial, I now talk after having one while sleeping. Usually seizure wakes my mother up in her room next door, as she says i'm not making any sense while having it. :-(
 
I have always talked in my sleep. But when I have a partial seizure I would sometimes talk while in the complex partial but it wouldn't make much sense. I have also written stuff while in a partial & it has been a little gibberish.
 
I've been told I do talk during my seizures. I have no memory of it but I do talk. Sometimes I make sense, other times I don't but when I do make sense I often say things that I normally wouldn't.

I did have a seizure once & asked my brother what time it was, at least that's how I remember it. He said I made no sense whatsoever. Not a big deal, I just grabbed his arm & turned his wrist so I could see his watch then nodded a thank you.
 
I have talked in my sleep for my whole life, but I don't really know if it's seizure related. During my complex partials when I am awake I am usually able to carry on a conversation and be aware of things, but sometimes the words don't come out, and sometimes they don't make a lot of sense.
 
I talk sometimes during a seizure. I do not make any sense or have any memory of it anyway. I normally say things that I would not say.
 
I have talked during a seizure, but I didn't realize that I was having a seizure, nor talking until my boss came at me. (Didn't know she was a bitch.)

My trigger is heat. There were a lot of computers (and back then, the monitors were CRT, and not digital) and the ceiling was low, which trapped the heat.
My little personal fan could not keep up.
I also found out that I am sensitive to coffee. Not that it makes me hyper, but that it makes me sleepy, and more prone to seizures - I kept a thermos of it on my desk.
I should have been drinking water.
 
According to those around me, when I have a complex partial seizure, I talk (babble) during it.

I talk frequently during my sleep but its normal talk and goes along with my dreams.
