Time For Sleep, part 1.

I like to fall asleep to music, which should come as no surprise as most of the time I tend to have some form of music playing or another. I have been known to spend upwards of half an hour in the past debating what to listen to. My current Hi-Fi set-up doesn't help much, as I have literally tens of thousands of songs at my fingertips. I have tried to compile a 'stock' list of songs I know will aid me in drifting off to the Land of Nod, but I'm so indecisive at the best of times that the list is rendered useless. I have also been known to put songs on, attempt sleep, only to get up again and change it.

The only time this ever works for me is if I am feeling particularly 'relaxed', aided by some type of alcohol or another. This is the best time, as it's not uncommon for Every Time I Die or someone of a similar ilk to scream for me a discordant lullaby. Of course, all this could be avoided by simply not listening to music in the first place, but where's the fun in that?

This song below is by Kyuss, the stoner/desert rock band featuring Josh Homme and Nick Oliveri before they went on to form Queens Of The Stone Age. This is a nice, mellow tune which evokes the Californian desert, Monument Valley, sunsets and endless stretches of highway. Not a bad image for one to drift off to. It's from their acclaimed album 'Welcome To Sky Valley'.
