Band founder, Ben Jorgensen, stated the name Armor For Sleep comes from his early experiences of writing music and not being able to sleep. He quotes
“ I guess when I started the band I was kind of, like, retreating in my room and I kind of couldn't really fall asleep, so I started playing music. I just thought of the name Armor For Sleep, because it was really, the music was keeping me from passing out! Which was something I was procrastinating on.
