Hello

If there is no other symptom which is unusual then we donot consider sleep talking as a problem and we dont treat it as well.

But if you are so concerned, as you cannot stay anywhere out of your home and trouble others due to shouting then we need to rule out certain other things.

If possible please tell do you have anxiety during daytime (due to any reason )? Or is it so that there is any relation between daily life stressors and more sleep talking?

If you havent observed it then do so now and see if there is any relation between more exertion and more sleep talking.

You have to see what is your dominant mood most times now..are you ok or you feel low mostly?
Bascially we need to rule out anxiety and depression as they can increase the chances of sleep talk.

This is a simple public forum and you cant get back to me from here.. if you want to pursue the converstation further then you can access me from premium question forum or discuss this with your doctor.

Wish you good health
