Gratuitous Song Post

One of the best things about not sleeping for a really long time (say, 36-40 hours), or being sleep-deprived for an extended period (say a week or two) is the moment when you realize that you don't have to (or can't) stay awake any longer: you can (must) just lie down and sleep.  The very best thing is the feeling you get when you lie down, pull the covers up around you, and put all worries from your mind.  At that point, you can't worry: you're too tired to worry anymore.  I think at those moments I am more carefree than I ever have been since I was a child.  It almost makes it worth staying up for that long.  Maybe that's why I still have such bad sleep habits.

This song reminds me of those moments, and maybe that's why I love it so much.
