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

If you fall asleep listening to The Firebird Suite its definitely narcolepsy.

@audphile1   AQ Coffee--good one!

On a more serious note, as a clinical psychologist who knows about sleep, I would suggest the OP probably has a sleep deficit, so easily falls asleep in the circumstances described.  Poor quality or quantity of sleep becomes common as we age past 60.  A home sleep eval might reveal the source of the problem and could be ordered by the primary care provider.

I have been notorious for falling asleep, listening to music since my days in college. Of course I think weed had something to do with it. Lol. I work long hours from home, and I usually try to listen to tunes in my dedicated music room later in the evening like 9 o’clock. I regularly fall asleep while listening to music. I think it’s just a matter of being tired and super relaxed from the music. It’s my peaceful, relaxing space after a very tough day. Of course, even though I’m 68, weed still is a factor, lol!  I find that bong hit of good weed is the cheapest improvement in sound quality you can get!

It appears “weed” and “substance” as mentioned in this discussion, can be influencers in more ways than usual.
 

Particularly useful if a users system is not that good?

@moto_man yup, that’s me but without the weed lol. Thank you all for the tips and recommendations!
