Do you talk in your sleep or know someone who does? If so, has some hidden secret ever been divulged in the quiet of night? Now imagine you are an undercover FBI agent that has a problem with talking in your sleep. That could be a very dangerous weakness, especially if you are under suspicion already and have been sequestered overnight with a member of the very party you are helping to expose.
