"Talking in Your Sleep" was the second single released by Country-Pop crossover singer, Crystal Gayle, to become a hit on both the Country and Pop charts. It was a hit in 1978. It peaked at #1 at the US Country chart, at #18 at the US Pop chart and at #3 at the US Adult Contemporary chart.

In 1977, Gayle achieved international crossover Pop success for the first time with her No. 1 hit "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue". Following the song's success, Gayle was recording more Pop and Adult Contemporary-styled Country tunes, and never looked back. This song is one of the first examples of this. "Talking in Your Sleep" was released in early 1978, and was a hit mid-year. The song proved an instant follow-up for Gayle on the Pop charts, being she hadn't had another Top 40 Pop hit since "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" the previous year. The song was a major Country hit, peaking at No. 1 on "Billboard Magazine" in 1978. The song reached the Pop music Top 20, as certified by Billboard magazine, reaching No. 18 there. The song was also a Top 5 Adult Contemporary hit, reaching No. 3.

"Talking in Your Sleep" was released on Gayle's major-selling album from that year called "When I Dream". Following "Talking in Your Sleep"'s success as a crossover smash, Gayle only achieved one more Top 40 Pop hit as a solo artist, which came the next year with the song, "Half the Way".

"Talking in Your Sleep" was covered by Kikki Danielsson in 1979 on her debut album "Rock'n Yodel".
