Music to fall asleep to

[eggmiester]

lads, we're trying to put the lad to sleep! i love metal just as much as ye do, but he'll never get to sleep if he's rocking out!

hence, i give you:

the irony is that the song is about a guy who has insomnia, and yet it's very soothing and relaxing. also:

what a song. so calming, and that crescendo at the end is so calming.

 

[Solomon Inculta]

Voltaire is the absolute best, Alucard.

Echochrome has some really nice music; I've been listening to #919 with drums added.

Falling to sleep to this is one of the most surreal experiences I've ever... experienced. Everyone should give it a go.

I realize Rap isn't the most popular genre for this website, but I've been enjoying Kid Cudi's albums recently. It's nice to turn off the lights and just listen.

Kid Cudi is awesome And i'm not even a rap fan...except maybe Lupe Fiasco

If I can't sleep, I get up. I don't try to force it, that just ends with me tossing and turning for hours.

For some reason this song is so peaceful for me...I could sleep to this if I listened to music when sleeping.

Kind've contradictory if you listen to the lyrics.

 

[RoyalWelsh]

From the EVE Online soundtrack. It always relaxes me.

 

[smithy_2045]

I fall asleep to silence, since any little thing keeps me awake at night.

 

[LiquidGrape]

I have a concoction that always does the trick.

Spoiler: Tom Waits - Watch Her Disappear

Spoiler: Björk - Vökuró

Spoiler: This Mortal Coil - The Lacemaker

Spoiler: Brian Eno - Stars

Spoiler: Scott Walker - Boy Child

 

[SuperVegas]

This.
The entire album 'the bee's made honey in the lions skull'


That or anything by Om.

 

[M920CAIN]

I slept to Saki Kaska - Callista a few times & I'm happy when I wake up to it too. I first heard it in ME2 on Omega.

 

[Urgh76]

Can't think of anything better than this :3

 

[Womplord]

the 'Dreamland' album by Robert Miles. Most relaxing thing ever produced.

 

[Knusper]

Right before going to bed I listen to anything but once I'm in I et my mp3 payer to play some Pink Floyd or Dream Theater at low volume and then turn itself off after half an hour. Normally I listen to Octavarium by Dream Theater because it starts off very slow and quiet and is a very happy piece and although it's 20 minutes long I can guarantee I'll be asleep before it finishes.

 

[UmJammerSully]

The perfect musical compliment to my dreams ;D :

 

[Yossarian1507]

Or early Opeth albums


Great sleeping tracks

You're right, but IMO Damnation is even better from Opeth when it comes to sleeping tracks.


Whole Opeth is amazing anyway.

 

[Ghengis John]

The soundtrack to an elder scrolls game, while not bad, is an audio sleep aid.

 

[Zombie_Fish]

Brian Eno - 1/1

I always preferred 1/2 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_N9sR1Dcbk] myself.

But yeah, what this guy said. Music for Airports I could easily fall asleep listening to. And failing that, I'd probably have Dark Side of the Moon as a backup.

Also for some reason, I once managed to fall asleep listening to Siren Song of the Counter Culture by Rise Against. I still don't know how tired I must have been for that to happen.

Anything by Royksopp, especially the Melody A.M. album
