Everything But Sleep, Where Does it Go?

(Photo Cred)
I suffer from Insomnia alot. I very routinely wake up every hour on the hour from 2 am until whenever I decide to get out of bed, this is what I listened to last night/this morning in an attempt to remedy this problem. The crazy part is it actually worked so I figured I should share it. Even if you don't share my problem these songs are all fantastic

[mp3] Explosions in the Sky - Day Eight
[mp3] Denison Witmer - Everything But Sleep
[mp3] Andrew Bird - Lull
[mp3] Arcade Fire - Cold Wind
[mp3] Godspeed You Black Emperor - The Buildings, The Are Sleeping Now
[mp3] Grizzly Bear - Lullabye
[mp3] Bonnie Prince Billy - Cursed Sleep
[mp3] Lullaby For the Working Class - Good Morning

Anything else I should have included? Am I missing the mother of all sleep songs?

Any acoustic song by Jay Farrar is soothing. Here is a good one:

Son Volt - Way Down Watson
