30 Day Song Challenge, Day 10: A song that makes you fall asleep

Almost two months later, I’m back. It’s not like I have devoted followers, so I don’t feel too bad… I guess this is more like a scrapbook anyway. When I don’t miniblog, the world doesn’t end.

I’ve had problems with insomnia since my early teens. I just can’t fall asleep and when I do, I usually wake up in the night. But there was a time when there was one thing that would ensure I fell asleep reasonably fast:

The “American Idiot” album by Green Day.

I’d just start playing it and usually around “Holiday” I’d fall asleep. I have no clue why that particular album did it for me – I suspect that it was because it worked once and so I created some kind of placebo effect for me. But hey, I won’t complain! It was during a time I actually had to wake up early, so I was grateful for anything that helped me get more than three hours of sleep (or any at all, really).

Maybe I’ll try it again.
