Sleeping Music

[jezz8me]

Most post-rock stuff

Amiina, Mogwai, Sigur Ros, A Silver Mount Zion, Mum and Godspeed you! Black emporer are all great chilled out music.

 

[Lt. Dragunov]

Lion King, and I'll leave it at that

 

[blindey]

Vivali or Mozart on low in the background for a little bit, then I turn it off when I'm about to fall asleep. But a lot of times...I don't really listen to anything, save for the beautiful silence of the night (hopefully...unless my roommate is blaring his crappy rap music full volume...)

 

[Malkavian]

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

This.
I can't sleep when I have music playing, not unless I am complete and utter exhausted.

 

[a7r0p05]

I listen to metal. I find it actually helps me sleep.

 

[Siuss]

Wednesday 13 or Murderdolls, for the dreaming.

Honestly I can't sleep, I'm narcoleptic, so until I drug myself good and up I don't sleep.

 

[JWAN]

You may be right - Billy Joel

More than a feeling - Boston

Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen

Fortunate Son - CCR

Rebel Rouser - Duane Eddy

Teenage Wasteland - The Who

and many songs like those

 

[gantzsurvivor1]

Lord of the Rings soundtracks. Any of them.

 

[speedcoreXdandy]

I like to fall asleep to Clara Rockmore, Music For 18 Musicians by Steve Reich or more recenelty Phaedra by Tangerine dream, I love that album so much, I love the lack of any sort of beat which makes it so spacey and relaxing.

 

[Wolf Blade]

Gershwin's Prelude 2 "Blue Lullaby" Is one of my favourites. Or just turning on the classical music radio station usually does it.

 

[Noamuth]

Most tracks from the Shadow of the Colossus OST work nicely.

If that fails, then Nightwish's pre-newshittysinger stuff.

 

[MissShortosity]

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.

Faunts= great sleep music. Damien Rice's stuff is also quite relaxing. I personally can't listen to music when i sleep, but if I did that would be what I listened to.

 

[Lukeje]

Listen to some of Erik Satie's piano music. Very relaxing.

Though I used to use Master of Puppets by Metallica to get me to sleep (don't ask why, it just worked).

 

[kommando367]

serenity by godsmack, my life be like by grits, forget myself by elbow,overkill by colin hay, and the godfather theme are all good ones

 

[Dommyboy]

Anything by Shpongle. Trance genius there.

 

[jzmn]

'Minimal techno' is a good tag to look for. Trentemoller is tops when it comes to that.

 

[ZantetsukenQ]

Damnation album by Opeth. It really does help serenade me to sleep.

 

[Mr_Cynical]

Brian Eno---Discreet Music

Sigur Ros---Svefn-G-Englar

Philip Glass---Koyaanisqatsi

Good shout on Sigur Ros.

I like Snow Patrol - Final Straw, anything by VAST and an oldie but goldie, Tubular Bells.

That being said, since I moved in with my girlfriend, I've stopped leaving music on overnight, cos she gets all freaked out if she wakes up in the middle of the night, meaning I get woken up in the middle of the night, which is NEVER a good thing!

 

[TheBlueRabbit]

I can sleep to just about anything, but I'm particularly fond of The Nightmare Before Christmas Soundtrack. Some newer King Crimson can be good, too.

If I have to FORCE myself to go to sleep, it's either Mannheim Steamroller's Fresh Aire 3, or the Akira soundtrack.

 

[Dilla]

The End theme to Man on Fire, by Harry Gregson-Williams. It's such a calming piece of music for me.
