When a move is selected using Sleep Talk and the user is holding a life orb, does it take life orb recoil?

Question

Because technically Sleep Talk's a status move...

Answer 1

The disadvantages of Life Orb, and ReStalk, however still stand. Since you're losing 10% of your health, you may find your counter drained sooner than you may wish(No pun intended).
