Emotional Profile
(Nostalgia · May 2026)
People who've loved someone they couldn't have find themselves drawn to "I Should Be Sleeping"—those wrestling with the pull between moving on and holding onto a memory. The song captures that restless midnight moment when sleep won't come because your mind keeps returning to a specific person, replaying moments that refuse to fade. Listeners return to it because it validates the paradox of heartbreak: knowing you should let go while being unable to stop thinking about what was lost.
Nostalgia hits first, pulling you back to a specific person and a specific time when everything felt possible. That feeling unlocks a quiet ache—the recognition that some moments, once gone, can't be reclaimed, no matter how much you replay them in your mind.
You return to this song on those late nights when you can't sleep because someone's on your mind. It's the soundtrack for those 3 a.m. moments when you're scrolling through old photos or remembering how their presence felt beside you. This is the song for missing someone in the stillness of the night.
The song's late-night introspection about restlessness transformed into something sweeter than intended—listeners found themselves swimming in memories of past loves rather than wrestling with present anxieties, turning what might have been existential into deeply personal nostalgia.
