In 1981, The Pretenders scored a Top 10 hit with the single "I Go To Sleep". The hypnotic interpretation featured Chrissie Hynde on lead vocals. At the time, she was married to Ray Davies, frontman for The Kinks. He wrote the song. It was initially intended for the legendary British group. 
While The Kinks did not record "I Go To Sleep", a version was issued as a single in 1965 by the British band The Applejacks. It was later covered by Cher. More recently, Sia recorded a remake for her 'Some People Have Real Problems'.
