Music Inspiration From Lack Of Sleep.

in Q Inspired-by-Music3 months ago

Here, where I come from, it is mostly believed that anyone who sleeps in the afternoon may not be able to sleep at night and if the person sleeps at night, it may be a difficult one because the sleep won’t come quick.
That’s why people are mostly advised to wake up when it’s evening so they won’t find it difficult to sleep at night.
As for me, I was at work yesterday but I can’t tell exactly why I was sleeping like a baby. If I do anything, when I finish it, I lay my head back on my desk and that’s how yesterday was for me.
Also, If I had chosen not to sleep at work, I may end up developing a headache that will make me ill afterwards so I slept at work to prevent that even though sleeping at work is highly prohibited.

When I got home to do all the necessary things and wanted to sleep at my normal bedtime, I could not sleep. There are times when I may not be able to sleep but once I lay on my bed, close my eyes and pretend to be asleep, I will definitely sleep off.
Since I could not sleep last night, I tried this my usual method but it didn’t work. I even tried to watch a movie for a fee minutes and that didn’t work too. Then, I thought of listening to music. The sleep I didn’t have inspired me to listen to some songs.

Thinking of the songs to listen to, I didn’t want something that was so noisy or something that will want to make me dance. Instead, I want something that will put me to sleep. I started to rack my brain thinking of such songs that could put me to sleep.
I went to Instagram to see some of the artistes I follow so that can help me remember if they have made a classic song that is worthy of putting me to sleep. Immediately I logged unto my Instagram page, I saw Rihanna’s picture and I went straight to my music application to play her song.

Diamonds

I can’t remember exactly when Rihanna released this song but I remember that the song is quite old but a good song that can put anyone asleep. Even though you watch the video, it is likely for you to fall asleep too. I didn’t even listen twice. I reduced the volume to the minimal level and I began to fall asleep.

I listened to one more before I completely logged off.

Stay

Rihanna featured Mikky Ekko in this song and all I still know is that it isn’t a new song. By the time I started listening to this song, I was completely dozing off and I tried to control myself but that didn’t work.

All I can remember is that this is the second song I listened to and I completely logged off. I know there were other songs that were playing after I’ve fallen asleep but I don’t even know and I didn’t hear them.
I woke up after five hours of sleep just to realize that my songs were stil playing.
I love those songs I played. They have a way of making you sleep. Lack of sleep inspired me to listen to music and sleep.

Music for sleep is a beautiful thing ... sometimes we can help ourselves so much even when sleep would not ordinarily come...

You’re very correct and that’s why we sometimes play lullabies for babies
