> Tonight/this morning I haven't had any sleep yet because I've been staying up doing homework. I haven't been getting much sleep lately, and something weird happened. Around 4AM I kept hearing faint classical music. I didn't recognize anything that was being played, and I KNOW no one in the house (or even in the neighborhood) was playing any. Neither was the computer. Is this a "normal" result of sleep deprivation?

This sounds a little like Twilight Zone stuff.
I don't know the name for it but it means "hearing sounds for which there is no source" or something like that.
When I was a kid (1940's)we used to hike to a place called "Big Rock" on a mountain above Hazard, Ky. It really was a house-sized rock. We would sit quietly on top of the rock and and listen. Sometimes you could hear music or people talking. It was faint but you could hear it. It also didn't seem to come from any particular direction. There were no houses within a mile or more. We were on a high point of a ridge and could see a considerable distance. We were pretty sure that we were hearing radio waves. Even then, I guess that I knew that was impossible, but it seemed to be the best bet. At another location many miles from there, we used to hear church bells coming from a place where a church was torn down 50 years before. They occured only in the evening, in summer, but on any day of the week. If you went to the site of the old church, you heard nothing. Anybody else ever had such an experience?
