It sounds like it may be turning toward a habit if Mike is being rewarded for his whining every night by being comforted, however it is always a good idea to get him checked out by a vet if this behavior started suddenly, you see other symptoms of illness, or he seems distressed or in pain. Checking your environment to see if there is anything triggering the stress at the same time each night, such as a person starting a car, a strange animal howling, etc may also alert you to the reason behind the behavior.
