Are you playing the same short list of music that you really enjoy and sounds great on your system? Try streaming more and discovering new music.
Why for the life of me I can’t stay awake when listening to Music?
I really don’t understand how someone can stay all night long listening to music? I read reviewers saying I started listening for hours till 2-3 in the morning. Well, I am 62 yo and as soon as I play music man I feel sleepy. I don’t think that is listening fatigue, it must be the opposite of it. I become so relaxed and my eyes start shutting down lol. Is that normal? Is it my equipments that makes me feel so relaxed or is it my advanced age? Can I do anything different to my system?
I am not sure if this topic came up before and may sound silly but I thought I ask in case someone else on this forum has the same issue.
My system:
McIntosh c2700
Mcintosh Mc 452
Revivalvaudio Atlante 5
Garlubidor divinity dac
Eversolo T8
cables Audience throughout.
Thanks for sharing your experience and input in advance!

Thank you all! I like to discover all sort of music but definitely leaning toward slow Jazz or vocals. Sound profoundly impacts the brain and body. When you listen to music, particularly at a slower tempo (around \(60-80\) beats per minute), your body naturally synchronizes with the rhythm, which can slow your heart rate, reduce cortisol (stress hormone), and relax your muscles. [1, 2, 3, 4] This response triggers the parasympathetic nervous system, which signals to your body that it is safe to rest and repair. Deep, low-frequency sound waves require less brain effort to process, which can guide your mind into a deeply relaxed, almost trancelike state. [1, 2] |
This happens to me all the time too. I don't think it's a bad sounding system, but rather a good one. The funny thing with me is I always wake up as soon as the music ends. Not between songs, but when the CD or playlist ends. This does not happen with LPs as there is not enough time to even fall asleep before I have to turn over the LP. I love when this happens as my listening sessions are to relax anyway. When I'm listening to music I usually have nothing else going on. |
@koestner I am glad to hear that I am not the only one. True my system keeps me relaxed and funny thing is that I start enjoying the cat nap while listening to some jazz lol. I sold all my vinyl albums and gear which was the big mistake I did because definitely I stayed awake to not ruin my stylus or records. Maybe I need to start all over but it is too expensive now. |
