Don't Ignore Severe Sleep Talking
Simple sleep talking and REM Sleep Behavior Disorder are completely different. RBD carries injury risk and can be an early sign of neurodegenerative disease, requiring medical evaluation.
Fortunately, medication (clonazepam, melatonin) is highly effective, and environmental safety measures can significantly reduce risks. Don't be embarrassed - consult a specialist if you have symptoms.
