Daylight saving time gave us an extra hour to party over Halloweekend. But now that the festivities are over, it may be best to use that time for some much-needed rest.

Close the shades and turn up our latest playlist, with 12 dreamy tunes to fall asleep to.

Editors’ Picks

This week’s pick: “Nightcrawler”

Jake Gyllenhaal is back on screen in this crime drama that opened Oct. 31. He’s lost all the baby fat from his face, completely transforming and molding himself for the role. I, for one, can’t wait to see what he can do.

Music | Morgan Baskin, Assistant Culture Editor

This week’s pick: “Sunshine” by Flight Facilities feat. Reggie Watts

Yes, you read that correctly — Reggie Watts, comedian extraordinaire, is featured on Australian producer/DJ duo Flight Facilities’ latest groovy track. The best part? It’s free on iTunes for the rest of the week.
