Lullabies...

[Zerobanshee]

do any of you know any good lullabies? I know this chick who is having massive sleeping problems, and I've been talking her to sleep recently, so she can get some decent shut-eye.

Do any of you know a good lullaby? I want to be able to sing her to sleep, and see if that works.

There are alot that I sing to my son, but I usually just find an interesting song and put my own words to the tune. I am not a big fan of alot of the traditional lullibies because they are not personal enough for me.

Are you looking for more of the children style lullibies or one that is more centered for adults? An age range of this chick might help to determine what kind of lullibie you are looking for. If you are looking for something for someone that is over the age of 9 I would suggest something alongs the line of poetry or possibly a psalms depending on how religious the person is. You can always use a tune behind them and use it in a mellow fashion.

Sorry if I am not much help but I also don't know what all the factors are on this one.

Just ask her if this rag smells like chloroform

But seriously, like Meier said it depends on how old she is. You could try poetry or maybe I'm thinking some really mellow music (it doesn't have to be a lullaby) say like James Blunt or something, cause it's quiet and soft.

I dont do lullabies but I use classical music when I cant sleep and that usually makes me really sleepy and i dont wake up as much when i am sleeping. Also tylenol pm does wonders or she should see a doctor and they could prescribe her meds.

[Zerobanshee]

as for the age, she's above nine, yes.

music? sounds like a cool idea. Im gonna have to try that out.

Im not one for older style lullabies,what I was originally looking for was something mellow.

Yea really try classical music. It works the best, or folk music.

If she is in your general age range, why don't you ask her to take a trip to poundtown downtown, if ya know what I mean?*bow chicka wow wowwwwwww*

If you can play some good acoustic guitar, try some soft chords or something. Soft music works wonders, like some others have said. If she's still having sleeping problems and she is a studious person, you could suggest for her to casually review some homework or whatever, see if that can get her sleepy. Also, beverages can sometimes work, like water, milk (this especially), or juice. That's all I can think of right now, but definitely try my first strat if she is at least a 6 on the chick scale. It works every time for me, so who knows
