Jon on Ambien

Scene: We're settled in bed, the lights are out. Jon has a history of taking an Ambien then not going directly to sleep.

Jon: I just remembered the blow dryer is still on Penny's bed from after her bath. She won't have anywhere to sleep. [stumbles out into the living room, returns twenty seconds later.]
[two minutes pass] Jon: [humming Justin Timberlake's "Mirrors"] I've had that song stuck in my head all day. Where did you get the album?
Me: Cara gave it to me.
Jon: How come I don't have it on my iPhone?
Me: I don't know. Go to sleep.
[two minutes later, when I've nearly drifted off] Jon: I DO have it! [music starts blaring]
Me: JONATHAN. PUT YOUR PHONE AWAY AND GO TO SLEEP.
Jon: [petulantly] Fine. [sets phone on nightstand] I just wanted Justin to sing me to sleep. Seems like the best way to fall asleep.
