    Having done some research on this topic, the nearest explanation I can find for this phenomenon seems to be a condition called Autonomous Sensory Meridien Response or “Brain Orgasms”! These can be triggered by external noises or actions, ie. someone writing, monotone auditory sounds or indeed whispering. People report a tingling sensation in the head and feeling sleepy. there are websites on YouTube that play whispered video material for sleep and meditative/relaxation purposes. Could this possibly help some people with their sleep problems? Unfortunately I have been unable to locate any actual recorded CD's containing whispering and to use YouTube would mean having a laptop or computer close to your bedside.

    I read about this phenomenon recently – it tends to affect me when I see people working on something that requires a lot of concentration; for example, watching people paint, draw or make something.

    I guess if you were to create a CD of whispering with the aim of helping people sleep, you need to be careful about what the people whisper about – you don't want it to be something you end up listening intently to!

    If he is on a CPAP machine, I would say he suffers from sleep apnea – is that the case? We're mainly geared up for insomnia sufferers here, but hopefully a dig around the forums will give you some suggestions. The more you get involved in the forums, the more you'll get out of them.

    Good luck!

    That's really interesting. I think whispering is naturally soothing, too. I wonder if there's any scientific reason for this?

    Last night I watched 'Ironclad' on Netflix. It's about King John trying to exact revenge and repeal the Magna Carta after being forced to sign it during the rebellion. I thought it was well done – quite graphic, and they included the obligatory (and unnecessary) love interest into the story which was a little distracting. Overall, I'd recommend it – I am surprised I hadn't heard of it before.

    As for there not being any money in insomnia… I don't know what the situation in Australia is like but the two private sleep therapy clinics in London, the Sleep School and the Sleep Centre in Harley Street, seem to be making a killing…

    I think this is more to do with the way health insurance often includes other sleep conditions (such as sleep apnea) but limits insomnia treatments. Furthermore, sleep apnea is often treated with expensive equipment (CPAP) whereas insomnia is frequently 'treated' with (relatively cheap) medication.

    I have no doubt that private sleep clinics are doing very well for themselves, though!
