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!

This happens to me too. 1. I am old 2. Music clears my mind and relaxes me-a good thing.

Some of the most enjoyable moment for me is when I am able to fall into the music with my eyes closed and stay at the edge of being awake and not. Sometimes I can  just  stay there for a long time... crossing back and forth across the line. 

Sounds like you have a great system. Being able to relax totally... is great. You still working? Retired yet? 

I love how my system sounds.

I sit exactly in the sweet spot.

Eyes closed.

No talking.

I listen attentively for soundstage and imaging cues, spectral balance, timbres, clarity and dynamics.

Well-recorded albums sound so realistic they elicit goosebumps.

Two hours is plenty of time to get my fix.

Until another day...

I LOVE my system, setup, and dedicated room.

@ghdprentice That is exactly how I feel. Still working but because I work from home, I have time to enjoy my system and my music collection.

@tomcarr Agree 100% 2 hours twice a day is what I need to be fully relaxed and enjoying my system lol.
