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

cables Audience throughout.

Um, actually I'd suggest maybe you normally feel much more anxious than you realize.  Worth talking to an expert, but if you normally run with constant interruptions, from task to task, and then stop, then music is your signal to stop all that, but you are already overtired. 

The solution may be to find ways to be less wound up during the day.  Always, and I mean, always, reach out to a professional like a therapist who are really super nice and have a lot of tips you'd never think of. 

@OP If your system puts you to sleep at any time of the day, I'd get a health check.

If it makes you drowsy in the evening, that may just be the music putting you in a relaxed state and hastening you sleep - and nothing wrong with that at all.

Before the advent of screens, it used to be that reading or listening to relaxing music were normal pre-sleep routines.

Go see a doctor go through your list of meds make sure no reactions.get a sleep study you may be getting enough sleep time wise but not quality wise check thyroid labs tsh,t3,t4 and testosterone level  b12 vit d.  Best of luck.enjoy the music
