Yes, I use David Cassidy's Hairdresser - Bang Shangalang

If you are stressed out and having trouble relaxing – listen to this song two times and call me in the morning. I wrote and recorded Sleep Child and played all the guitars and bass. My friend Barry sang backup vocals and for the life of me I can’t remember the drummer’s name.

Lyrics

I used to stay up, all night,

Thinking that I could get everything right.

If only I could correct my mistakes

Ahh, but that’s not what it takes.

Problems would haunt me

and I’d let them in.

Words would upset me

“I should have told them!”

Sooner or later, I’d prove I’m a man…

Bridge

Oh, I did not understand

Then Jesus spoke to me

He said I am in control

Of the things you cannot see

Chorus

And He said

You can sleep child

I’ll be up all night working on this

You can rest now

It’ll be all right

Don’t you worry – I’ve got a plan

I’ve got you right here in the palm of my hand.

Verse 2

So I started thinking

This had to be true

Worry solves nothing

For me and for you

And, since you’ll be up Lord

I’ll just get some rest

And He said “There you go

You just passed the test

Chorus

And He said

You can sleep child

I’ll be up all night working on this

You can rest now

It’ll be all right

Don’t you worry – I’ve got a plan

I’ve got you right here in the palm of my hand.

From One Line in a Radio Interview

I was stressed out and wondering what to do about a situation I had nearly no way to influence when I heard Larry Burkett say on the radio how that exactly described him as a stressed out businessman.

Then he read a Bible verse that said God did not sleep and that while we slept, was on the job looking out for us and working things out. When I heard that – I wrote the song Sleep Child which I am including here for you.

    Thanks for the tips. These symptoms to watch out for in children are really helpful. My husband was diagnosed with sleep apnea a year or two ago and I have heard that it often runs in families. I am a little bit concerned that our children might have it as well. Now I know more about what to look for Child Sleep Solution
