I probably fall asleep with music on Around 95% of the time. Nothing with lyrics tho... they keep me awake.

Usually experimental music. Good morning good night by the Sachiko M / Otomo Yoshihide / Toshimaru Nakamura is probably my most frequented. Also lots of zoviet France and Hana sumai. Solo guitar albums are nice too, sir Richard Bishop, m mucci and Loren mazzacane Connors all have good albums for sleeping. Noise music can be good to some of the quieter Aaron dilloway and new blockaiders albums are great

I actually find drone music to be quite distracting when I'm trying to sleep though...

Gurrumul, Nick Drake - you know, something soft but with feeling; heart and soul.

Music is noise and will keep you awake at night if it is too loud. You're look if you can listen to albums at bedtime. 😄 Do new listens (first listens) count if you do them at bedtime?

Kid A by Radiohead

My first few listens of this was when i was laying down in bed.And during those times i never made it beyond treefingers so i would say this is good for bedtime.

My experience exactly - although I never remember staying awake after the third track

Tim Hecker and the collaborations between Fennesz & Sakamoto also work well for me these days.

Half of the time I have trouble listening to things with words because it's distracting so I'll put on soft orchestral pieces or classical music.

My go to sleep music has been Somnium by Robert Rich. The introduction in that epic is just about the most visual and dreamy music I've ever heard.

Also in the past it's been Ambient 1. Also The Disintegration Loops. Also the Caretaker album "Stairway To The Stars" had made for some great and kinda spooky sleepy time music.

Yeah, but mostly this...

Well there's the usuals like Eno and Low, of course. Any of the slow slowcore bands will do it for me, but American Analog Set in particular have been the soundtrack to my sleepless nights for the past few months. VEEEEERY relaxing stuff. Their most relaxed album is The Fun of Watching Fireworks, but it isn't in the database (yet) so I'll post a very close runner up.

Billie Holiday turned down low. It's almost like she's there singing in your ear, making you feel safe and warm until you finally drift off....
