Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET There are thousands of songs about staying up all night to have fun, yet fewer about how nice it is to go to bed early. After a long day of work, nerve-inducing headlines, and strenuous exercise, all I want is sleep. That's when the lyrics of Hall and Oates' song, "When the Morning Comes," a tune mainly about rejection that can be interpreted as an ode to a good night's rest, come to mind: "It'll be all right when the morning comes," the duo sing.
