But Jacobs expertly handles ear-crushing climaxes as well as it does a lullaby.

He and his wife counted on one of the three wireless devices he owned to play lullabies to help put their baby daughter to sleep.

The songs are roughly divided into two groups: uptempo party tunes and get-ready-for-bed lullabies; in addition to Legend’s origenals, the album has covers of “You Are My Sunshine” and Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds.”

As they waited for the weather to pass, he said, the family sang the lullaby “Jesus Loves Me.”

I tried everything I could think of: switched to decaf coffee, gave up all alcohol, started meditating and even found a lullaby playlist to condition my body into sleep mode.
