Music to fall asleep to

[s0p0g]

any really fast really loud death metal

and no i am not joking. i can fall asleep to a wall of noise, if you will, but something quiet, no matter what genre... no way!

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

Something tranquil and acoustic like Jose Gonzalez or Nick Drake, I actually play this before I go to sleep quite often:

 

[Detective Prince]

I'll listen to Mumford & Sons and then maybe the Persona 4 soundtrack to get me into a happier mood and sleeeeeepy.

 

[CounterReproductive]

Momentary Lapse of Reason by Pink Floyd usually asleep before the first vocal track begins

Wish You Were Here by same band http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCQTr8ZYdhg

Shine On You Crazy Diamond ditto http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQYaVb4px7U&feature=related

 

[Nazz3]

Godspeed You Black Emperor


Or this track


That would probably make me even more scared though

 

[Scars Unseen]

Actually, almost any song on the first disc of that album will work. Maybe not Liberty Bell.

 

[Goofguy]

I usually go with classical music, preferably some Vivaldi. It's very calming and it helps relax me if I am stressed out.

 

[Captain Pancake]

you didn't watch 'The Thing' that night by any chance? Most soothing thing in my collection is the xx.

 

[silver wolf009]

SLAYER!!
BEST. DREAMS.
[HEADING=1]EVER!!![/HEADING]

Serisously though, I play this:
That'll knock you out quick.

 

[Shilkanni]

Used to play music when falling asleep but don't anymore, usually went with mellow stuff: Dido, Andy Stochansky, Verve, Sarah Blasko

For more recent stuff, The XX sounds like a good idea, maybe Bon Iver, Josh Pyke.

 

[DirtyMagic]

An easy one to pick, but it's damn effective!


Beautiful song and it makes you sleeeeepyyyyy...

 

[Outright Villainy]

Probably the Hummer by Devin Townsend, or something equally ambient. Any real music will just keep me up, it has to be really minimalist ambient noises.

 

[akavirian_getsu]

definitely the background music from: http://bards.ee/enter.html

 

[dvd_72]

"Life is on you" from the Devil May Cry anime. I find it incredibally relaxing even if it is kind of short. just put it on loop on a low volume and let it carry me off.

 

[XIGBARx13]

Anything by Oasis can lull me right to sleep, especially "Champagne Supernova."

 

[plugav]

I'd go for Bohren & der Club of Gore's Sunset Mission or Angelo Badalamenti's soundtrack from Twin Peaks.

Spoiler: Click for YouTube links.

Alternatively, I'd go for some death metal. Not very soothing, but I easily fall asleep to car engines and vacuum cleaners, and metal's the next best thing.

 

[The Apothecarry]

I'd probably throw on Tool's Lateralus album. That'll knock me out pretty quickly.

 

[speakeasysyn]

Classical music sometimes...

Globus is good too

Or Origa

 

[staika]

My friend finds this weird but I can fall asleep to any metal music no matter how intense it is. My favorite song to fall asleep to is From the edge of the earth by Sylosis

 

[JohanGasMask]

Spoiler: Nuff said

Im asleep right now...
