Songs about sleep and being tired

I was very tired over the weekend and started thinking about songs in this category.

The Beatles - "I'm So Tired"
The Beatles - "I'm Only Sleeping"
The Kinks - "Tired Of Waiting For You"
Suzanne Vega - "Tired Of Sleeping"
The Diodes - "I'm Tired Of Waking Up Tired" ('70s Canadian punk at its finest)

Was wondering what we could come up with for a comp CD or two or three.

 

So Tired - Ozzy Osbourne

 

Beach Boys -- I Went to Sleep
U2 -- MLK
Rolling Stones -- Sleep Tonight
King Crimson -- Sleepless
Graham Nash -- Another Sleep Song
Billy Joel -- Sleeping with the Television On
The Kinks/Pretenders -- I Go to Sleep

I don't know that I'd count "Tired of Waiting for You." That's more like "Tired of" in the sense of "Fed up with."

 

I submit from Blazing Saddles...
So Tired-Lilly von Schtupp

Sweet Dreams-Yes

 

Charly McClain-Sleepin' With The Radio On
Jimmie Rodgers (the original one)-Sleep Baby Sleep

 

Beatles - Goodnight
Beatles - Golden Slumbers
Chordettes - Mr. Sandman
Rolling Stones - Who's Been Sleeping Here?

Does Santo & Johnny's "Sleepwalk" count?

 

I'm So Sleepy - Cat Stevens

 

Louis Armstrong: "When It's Sleepy Time Down South"
Frank Zappa: "Sleeping in a Jar"
Blondie: "Dreaming"

 

Dominatrix - The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight

 

Warren Zevon - I'll Sleep When I'm Dead

 

"Sleep" - Donovan

JEFF!

 

Just Can't Go To Sleep - Kinks
Beyond The Wall Of Sleep - Black Sabbath

 

Narcolepsy - Ben Folds Five

 

I certainly hope so!
Don't forget Brahms' Lullaby. I'll throw in Schubert's "Nacht und Traume" (Night & Dreams) for good measure. Can't forget Roy Orbison's "Dream Baby" and "In Dreams". And I'd be an idiot to forget Stevie Nick's "Dreams".

 

Sleeping - The Dwight Twilley Band
Isn't there a song on Stage Fright by The Band called Sleeping or something like that?
I Go to Sleep - The Kinks, Cher, Peggy Lee (Didi she record it? I heard Ray Davies wrote it with her in mind).
Sleepy Time Time - Cream

 

Not to mention its predecessor:

Graham Nash - Sleep Song

 

Indeed there is! A perfect addition to this thread. Here's a link to the lyrics on the Band website:
