Thanks everyone who's contributed so far. Takin' it up a level: Tracks that actually involve sounds of sleep/waking - alarm clocks, snoring, yawning, etc.? Non-New-Age style preferred, tho meditative-droning is fine. eg. Good Morning Good Morning - The Beatles, as previously mentioned. (Note: I'm impressed there are so many Beatles sleep/wake songs!)
