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.

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

I was just going to suggest smoking less weed during listening sessions:). Seriously tho' I think it's a compliment to your system. 

Most of my focused listening gets done these days 9pm to 2am. 

The keyword there is...coffee

Music's more enjoyable at night.

P.S...Don't smoke weed (makes ya dumb). Don't drink liquor..ruins everything else, lost a friend of 40 years to the bottle not too long ago.

First, you've got great speakers, and your system is likely very good.

Second, since you're still working, the issue is not likely that you're getting too much sleep, which research is showing can be detrimental to major organs. Eight hours/night is a good target for older folks.

Third, the suggestions to get a health check-up (once a year) and examine your lifestyle and activity level are very sound advice. Working from home can be very lethargic. Even just taking a walk around the block after lunch can be helpful. Hitting a gym 3 times a week would be fantastic. You'd be surprised how many older dudes are doing this to improve their quality of life.

Fourth, have your doctor check your PSA level. It's a simple blood test for prostate cancer. It's the second leading cause of cancer death among men, after lung cancer. Early detection can greatly improve survival rates.

Fifth, turn the volume up to concert level.
