I experience what sounds like a very similar thing, not necessarily when i'm tired but when my mind is peaceful. Because it doesn't really have an affect (or effect?? never quite sure which is right) on me apart from at times constantly looking over my shoulder to see who it is when actually it isn't anyone.
I haven't actually bothered telling anyone about it.
I did try to do a little reading on it an it appears that as long as voices are not having a profoundly negative impact on a person it can be considered almost as a variation of normal.
This page is quite informative
Hearing Voices
My conclusion about the "normalness" of this experience is explained about halfway down the page...
Quote:
Research has shown that many people hear voices, and some cope well with their voices, without psychiatric intervention. It has also been found that many people who hear voices regard them as a positive part of their lives.
Throughout history and even today there are people who hear voices who find their voices inspirational and comforting. Many researchers, practitioners and voice hearers believe it is mistaken to regard voice hearing as part of a psychopathic disease syndrome. Rather, they consider it to be more akin to a variation in human experience - a special faculty or difference that definitely does not need a cure.
