a song to go to sleep to

I never go to sleep listening to music. I'm one of those people who actually listens to music, it's not just background. In fact, I don't merely listen to music, I experience it...which sounds a bit metaphysical but it isn't, it's purely physical and all happening in my brain.
So, if I'm attentively "listening", how can I sleep? In fact, I hate any noise when I'm falling asleep because I'm not all that good at it (sleep). Mainly because my brain carries on chatting to me hours after my body is comatose. Over the years I've managed to train myself to go to bed, read for half an hour and then go to sleep - I do this on work/school nights so I manage to get up in the morning. Any other time of the week or year I fall back into bad habits and pootle around til 2am....and, if I'm on my own, I tend to just stay awake until I collapse....

My youngest sproglet tells me that I should say that I wasn't actually on fire. I wasn't even asleep really. I've just given her a lecture about telling the truth so, yeah. And I expect that you'd guessed anyway and were thinking 'keep the day job love because you're not going anywhere with this'. Fair point, I know.

And, the music? Well, what else for a jolly send off to sleep but Rammstein's little ditty Wollt Ihr Das Bett In Flammen Sehen? - lyrics are there in both original German and English, just in case....
