Sleep is an important part of our popular culture. For centuries, people have included references to sleep in music. In order to provide a comprehensive database of 'All Things Sleep', ASA has provided a growing directory of songs about sleep.
While most of these songs weren't designed to try to help you fall asleep, they have strong references to sleep and dreams. If you are looking for some soundtracks and videos to help you initiate sleep, check out ASMR.
The list will grow with your input. Please contact us about your favorite songs about sleep.
When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Behind the Wall of Sleep - The Smithereens
Now I lie in bed and think of her,
Sometimes I even weep.
Then I dream of her, behind the wall of sleep.
Circadian - David Cook
Mayday
Somebody save me now
And I'm closing my eyes cause once the sun rises
It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
Daysleeper - R.E.M.
Hong Kong is present, Taipei awakes
All talk of circadian rhythm
I see today with a newsprint fray
My night is colored headache gray
Daysleeper
Daysleeper
Daysleeper
Dream On - Aerosmith
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dream comes true
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dream comes through
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On, AHHHHHHH
Dream Weaver - Gary Wright
I have just closed my eyes again
Climbed aboard the Dream Weaver train
Driver take away my worries of today
And leave tomorrow behind

Enter Sandman - Metallica
Exit, light
Enter, night
Grain of sand
Exit, light
Enter, night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Get Some Sleep - Bic Runga
From here to there to everywhere
And back to union square
Where do I get some sleep?
Anywhere the sleep dust lies
It decorates your eyes
When do I get some sleep?
I Can Sleep When I'm Dead - Jason Michael Carroll
Baby, I ain't gonna miss a thing
Life's too fun and I'm too young and the night ain't over yet
Like I said I can sleep when I'm dead
Like I said
Like I said
I can sleep when I'm dead
I'm Only Sleeping - The Beatles
When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream
