"Don't Lose Any Sleep" is a song by English musician John Waite, which was released in 1987 as the second and final single from his fourth studio album Rover's Return. The song was written by Diane Warren, and produced by Frank Filipetti, Rick Nowels and Waite.[1] "Don't Lose Any Sleep" peaked at No. 81 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and remained in the charts for four weeks.[2]
The song's music video was directed by Kort Falkenberg, who also directed the video for Waite's 1984 hit "Missing You". It was shot on location in Los Angeles, as well as at the Chaplin Stage at A&M Studios.[3] The video achieved breakout rotation on MTV.[4]
On its release, Billboard described the song as a "churning midtempo ballad" and a "strong chart contender" that recalled "Missing You".[5] Dave Sholin, writing for the Gavin Report, commented: "No doubt "Missing You" inspired this effort, which is a compliment in itself. John works his magic and energy into yet another terrific tune written by the prolific Diane Warren."[6]
