Sleeping Music

[ellimist337]

What songs do you like to listen to, if any, when you're trying to fall asleep? I actually have a playlist specifically for this that has songs such as Mad World by Gary Jules and Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley. What winds you down and helps you sleep?

One of my favorites to fall asleep to (and has been for many years) is Aphex Twin Selected Ambient Works Volume 2, either CD. Such a fantastic set of ambient tracks.

Anything on my MP3 player...

Goodbye Sky Harbor by Jimmy Eat World always sooothes and puts me to sleep

its one hell of a long song too so its a good song for bed

The cd that came with my "I can make you sleep" book by Paul Mckenna.

It's weird as could be, but seems to have some sort of soporific effect.

Second on Aphex Twin, but also Prefuse 73 does it well for me.

But lately I just have an ep of south park on in the background.

Glad to know I'm not the only one. I can't sleep without sound, so I'll just turn on my laptop, put in south park, and let it play through.

Sigur Ros---Svefn-G-Englar

Philip Glass---Koyaanisqatsi

Instrumental stuff.

Like, the last 6-7 tracks from the Total Annihilation soundtrack.

Everything from "Stealth" to "Blood of the Machines," because they're so slow and ambient.

 

[Erana]

Enya and Interstella 5555.
Those do it better than anything else.

I like to listen to silence when i sleep. It helps me sleep better.

Lately i've become addicted to Drunk and Disorderly, so i guess you could count that considering i listen to them day and night (i loop their albums), but (and this is a plug for my favorite artist) 18 by Moby is very nice and calming. Quite a few songs by Moby are good for relaxing. The last few songs on his latest album, a couple on Everything is Wrong, every 3rd song or so in his album 18, and others.

Faunts. I discovered them because I played Mass Effect (listen to the song during the credits) and I downloaded their album. It's put me to sleep pretty well and it's unique stuff. I recommend it.

Second, I fall asleep fast to smooth instrumental songs.

 

[Damien the Pigeon]

When I was really young, I used to listen to Red Red Wine by UB-40.

 

[Fightgarr]

I can fall asleep to most things. Luna by the Smashing Pumpkins come to mind though.

I can't fall asleep well if something is on in the background.. TV especially seeing as the constant strobe lighting. When I sleep with the tv on I don't sleep as well without it on.
