I think the reason he wakes up with tinnitus is because in the middle of
the night his roommates sneak into his room, sedate him with heavy drug
injections, then proceed to bang out Jeff Mills' "The Bells" on the lids of
pots and pans.
I do know this - if you fall asleep with music on it *will* prevent you
from going into Delta sleep - that is the deeper sleep and the more restful
sleep - you still might dream because you're brain is still listening to
the music and more likely have nightmares because your body is not at rest.

IMO:
Alex:
the author only mentions cd audio as harmful in his personal case of when
he
falls asleep listening to music and waking up with tinnitus. He also seems
to being basing part of his theory on this case, which IMO is not a very
scientific way of proving it. AFAIK cd quality audio is not (heavily)
datareduced so the authours theory may not apply. Listening to music while
asleep may cause other problems, like nightmares though!
Marc:
although reading too many magazines may cause problems (i for one wear
glasses cuz i read too much under my covers with a flashlight as a kid), i
think that that is caused to insufficient lighting, poor print etc rather
than the intrinsic qualities of the print per se, whereas the data
reduction
in digital audio is sole cause of neuroacustic damage to the ear (in this
case.)
