Why for the life of me I can’t stay awake when listening to Music?

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. 

I'm able to do that with my headphone system in FL(winter home).  I listen first thing in the morning while others are still sleeping. I get up very early, usually..shortly after 5am... I'd sleep longer if I could, but..

Sometimes when I do lean back in my chair with the phones on I do reach that nether-world toeing the line of sleep..conscious, though only enough to hear the music.  It's a wonderful place to be. 

Listening to my system at home the rest of the year, first thing in the morning..I'm jamming with coffee..wide awake..that's great too. 

Stop playing Brahms.

Change your chair its probably so comfortable that along with some great music you relax completely into sleep. So a hard chair and no way to put your legs up. I know as I quite often suffer the same sleepiness and napping as you. Its really disconcerting to enjoy tracks one to three and then awake at number 8. Its also about the state you sit down to listen. However I’d say your system must be organic and warm so nothing to worry about there.

Just go with the flow.  If you are getting enough rest and still not staying awake maybe it’s time for a change.  Maybe even to a different pastime if needed. 

Easy fix. Espresso and AC/DC.
