Until I married, I was only able to sleep if I had classical music playing. My husband has served quite well as a replacement.

The interesting bit of this, and why it might be relevent, is that I was unable to sleep because of the constant possible-future-dreams. I still get those, but not hour after hour night after night, just occasionally.

In your friend's case, would he be willing to try queuing up eight hours of medieval or classical era Catholic music and running it very softly? It's good stuff, lyrics and music both, so if he can sleep at all with music on, it won't do any harm.
