"I Go to Sleep" is a song written by Ray Davies and first released by The Applejacks. It was never recorded by The Kinks, but Ray Davies's demo can be found in reissue bonus tracks of their second studio album Kinda Kinks.
"I Go to Sleep" was covered in 1967 by German singer Marion () (later known as Marion Maerz). The record was produced in London by Larry Page, the producer of The Troggs and manager of The Kinks. The song was released in Germany and the UK. Marion performed this song as the first and only German female singer in the famous German music program Beat Club.
"I Go to Sleep" was covered in 1981 by The Pretenders and released as the fifth single from their second studio album Pretenders II. The song was later included on The Pretenders' compilation album The Singles. The song was also featured in the films Romanzo Criminale and Sweet Sixteen. "The French horn in 'I Go to Sleep'…" Hynde recalled, "It's those little embellishments that capture my attention."
