As for Sleeping at Last, it is the name of the music project musician Ryan O’Neal has been recording under since 1999.

Sleeping at Last originally started life as a band, as a trio with O’Neal’s brother Chad and bassist Dan Perdue. Both of them left the band in 2008, however, and Ryan decided to continue on as a solo musician but still keep the name.

Since then, he has carved out a very successful career for himself, with much of his music being featured on a plethora of TV shows and movies. At the same time, O’Neal has managed to keep his independence, and so he still releases his own music.
