Monday I got home from school after interviewing my music teachers for the feature story I have to write this week. My intentions were to be productive. I was going to do my Journalism homework and finish writing my spanish fairytale due in a week.
Nope.
I fought to only lay down for a little bit. An hour long nap could've been fine. My mind wandered to what I had to do and then, I was out.
For FIVE hours. Not my longest nap. Usually a long nap lasts at least six hours, but this one was only five. I woke up at about 8:30.
And yet when I woke up, I was ready to go back to bed. I showered baked cookies for the french teachers birthday, did no homework, then went back to bed four hours later.
Each time I fell asleep it was the same. I thought about what I had to do, until my brain went blank and I fell asleep.
The steps to me falling asleep reminded me of Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata.” The sonata keeps a simple yet intriguing melodic line throughout the piece until suddenly, it ends in two simple minor chords.
The running eighth notes in “Moonlight Sonata” are the little things you think about before falling asleep. Each key change brings about a new topic, the prevailing accented notes the key parts of each topic.
The “Moonlight Sonata” has just enough going on to keep the listener interested until the final chords help push you to sleep.
