Moved references to talk:

  • Fox, B., & Robbin, J. (1952). The retention of material presented during sleep. Journal of Experimental Psychology, 43, 75-79.
  • Leshan, L. (1942). The breaking of a habit by suggestion during sleep. Journal of Abnormal Social Psychology, 37, 406-408.

At least one of these references only occurs on a single web page. Can anyone check these references? What's the current state of the art in sleep learning? -- The Anome 15:11, Nov 22, 2004 (UTC)

Is this technique now discredited?--UhOhFeeling (talk) 03:13, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Confusion of terms?

I was under the impression hypnopædia concerned only learning. This article seems mainly concerned with hypnotherapy using self-hypnosis tapes to achieve behavioural changes. Aren't the two different? AlmostReadytoFly (talk) 21:05, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
