"'I Dream to Sleep'" is a song by Scottish pop band H2O, composed by all of the band members and produced by Tony Cox. Initially released in 1983, the song was later included on H2O's debut studio album, 'Faith' (1984). The single features the non-album track, "Burn to Win" as its B-side, which was later included as a bonus track on the CD reissue of the 'Faith' album. It was their first release on the label RCA and it peaked at No. 17 on the UK Singles Chart.

Lead singer Ian Donaldson was inspired to write the song's lyrics after seeing Yazoo perform "Only You" on 'Top of the Pops'. It makes reference to and quotes David Bowie's song "Young Americans", of whom Donaldson was a fan.[http://www.patchchordnews.com/ian-donaldson-singer-writer-producer-formerly-band-h20-takes-time-chat Ian Donaldson Singer, Writer, and Producer formerly of Band H2O takes time out for a chat]
