concerned my 4 year old daughter talk in sleep ALWAYS

my four year old daughter had night terrors sice she was just a few months. the pediatrician said that thats what it was. now she just talks in her sleep. sits down and talks, sometimes yells, sometimes sings, sometimes she calls me and says stuff i dont understand. mostly she wines as she talks.
we are a calm loving family . theres no abuse or yelling of any sort. we've raised her in a loving manner. we give her lot of effection and attention. she goes to school. she started school one year ago. the school is amazing, loving, carying. i check up on her without notice all the time. she loves school and is very happy there. i dont know why shes like this. yeah, we discipline her by putting her in time out sometimes like all parents have a way of disciplining. i dont know why she does this ALL THE TIME. is it normal or should i worry. shes never walked in her sleep.

i forgot to mention. she has always slept in her own room. never in my bed. i read her calm, sweet bedtime stories at night. nothing scary. she sleeps with nightlight on. she watches kcet pbs cartoons about an hour a day. cartoons like curious george, little einsteins, super why  , clifford. things like that only and once in a while she watches sponge bob and i dont approve of that. but still happpens.

Most likely she is a very deep sleeper, which is why this happens.  I, myself, was like this every night and it continued into my twenties.  Now rarely it happens mostly because I do not sleep deep anymore.  It has nothing to do with her day or what has happened in her day.  It is just because her brain enters that deep sleep stage.  Nothing to worry about.  She may even start sleep walking, which looks really silly.  Our daughters all talk in their sleep, all four of them.  One daughter talks in a deep man like voice and sometimes in a voice or language that I don't quite understand. It is very strange at times and other times very amusing especially when they answer each other and nothing makes any sense.  It's kind of cute when they laugh in their sleep.  Sometimes they scream and sit straight up in bed.  Girls talk all day, and I guess they have to talk all night too. :)
