Music to fall asleep to

[thecoreyhlltt]

my alter bridge playlist seems to do the trick, but really as long as i know the words i can fall asleep to any song.

 

[InfiniteSingularity]

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.

True, but that goes without saying. But personally, I find earlier Opeth much more entrancing and as such, better sleep music. Older Opeth is better in general also

 

[C95J]

I can fall asleep to any music! In fact, I fall asleep to music all the time.

 

[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.
