I just finished school & an interesting semester taking a Psychology course & am now going onto AP Psychology, so I think I'd be able to help in some sort of way.
We learned sleep in the beginning of the semester & I was told [I also read about it in my textbook] that sleepwalking, sleeptalking & nightmares or nightterrors were sleep disorders. Not to say they're going to make you weird or whatever, but they can sort of be bad to have. You could be saying [or doing] some dangerously suggestive things when you sleepwalk or talk. It's best you see a doctor about this so you have someone to talk to about it.
I doubt it's anything to worry about though, I was talking in my sleep just last night, and I do it everyday. How do I know? I catch myself & hear myself talking. Haha, but I think you should be fine; but see that doctor just in case! [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

One night, I woke up in the middle of having a conversation with Robert Deniro, who was sitting in a chair across the room. Well, he wasn't REALLY there, of course, and it was creepy because I wondered who all I actually talk to in my sleep!
I don't know for certain, but I would be willing to bet that it isn't psychological, but that IS a possibility, I suppose. I think it is just something some people do. And more people talk in their sleep than you would think.
I don't know how one would stop sleep talking, or sleep walking for that matter, because it is something subconcious. It's like trying to control snoring (though they DO have machines to control it for you.)
Since you find it to be a problem, you may go and talk to your doctor and ask them what can be done to help you stop talking in your sleep.
