Sleep


I really really like falling asleep to music. I love the feeling of being half awake and half asleep and being aware of what's happening but it feels like reality is a little distorted. And when you wake up you can remember the last song you heard and look on iTunes at what order the songs were played and figure out what time you went to sleep. Awhile ago I crafted one of the best sleep playlists I've ever made, seriously. I can't post the whole 32 song long thing but I'll type it all up and post a few tracks.
It's mostly acoustic type stuff from singer-songwriters, but when I'm in that right moodit feels awesome and I go to sleep like that *snaps fingers*. Hopefully you'll get to sleep just like that dog in that picture. Get ready for lush slow and sleepy acoustic beautiful goodness!
