What is your go to sleep music?

don't piss me off

what is your "go to sleep" music?

Second favorite Bach's Brandenburg concertos by the Academy of Ancient Music.

But KGO talk radio.

and I won't piss you off

leaving the TV on with a sleep timer, sometimes on MTV or VH1, but usually on Nick at Nite or channel du jour (cartoon network, etc.)
-or- listening to a Spanish language tape..

I don't know skittles either, but I guarantee, your post is weird.

but I usually fall asleep to Nine Inch Nails. Seriously. I can't fall asleep to quiet music. I strain to hear it and that keeps me awake.

Darth Velma

but when I was in college the first time I had some friends who thought Meatloaf's bat out of Hell was perfect go to sleep music. Needless to say when I stayed with them I was not well rested.

But I set my radio timer and drift away to Coast to Coast AM.
(Formerly Art Bell's show)

On Shoutcast.

babies being slaughtered, and maniacal laughter.......




Ok, so not really.

I usually don't listen to music to when sleeping, but on the rare chance I do, its usually something jazz. :)

about all the rainbows you can have for your own.

I can listen to pretty much anything to fall asleep as long as it's not too loud. Sometimes I listen to a few CDs on random, or sometimes various (record) albums, although having to get them up and turn them over can be a bit inconvenient if you're an insomniac like me. I can listen to hard music, but generally try to avoid really "down" or depressing stuff 'cause it'll get me in a sad frame of mind and keep me up. FWIW, the last five nights I have listened to Bread, the Smashing Pumpkins, the Byrds, and a Steve Martin comedy album to fall asleep- which is why I can't really generalize on what I usually listen to. haha

But we also have lots of other ambient stuff, as well as a bunch of different natural sounds combined with music kind of stuff- forest sounds, thunderstorms, babbling brooks, etc...
Native American stuff is good too.

I listen on http://whiterosesociety.org

It helps relax me to sleep knowing that someone is as angry as I am and tells the truth over the radio.


When I was in High School I used to go to bed listening to Jimi Hendrix "are you expierienced" because it would give me soulfull expieriences and good dreams.

I just got a new one and it's so quiet I'm having problems falling asleep. My old one is really LOUD.

But I recently got a new mask and it's been an adjustment.

it's like a handbell choir.

no, wait, that's just one bell, and it keeps going like the world's best tuning fork...

great stuff = partner woman is acting like she hates me

I think it used to be called new age...very nice serene music

Very soothing.

I end up laying in bed and singing along.

is pretty hard to sing along to.

Great Krautrock group who specialized in "spontaneous composition," i.e. making shit up as they went. The early records were assembled with a lot of tape editing and similar tricks, to make them sound like they knew what they were doing a lot better than they really did :-) It occurred to me recently that I'd been ignoring the later records, when they had access to multi-track recording studios, and actually pieced their stuff together in a more deliberate fashion, so I'm playing that stuff now. Essentially they were a jam band, back when the conventional wisdom was that the Grateful Dead were the only real jam band in the world. And in fact much of this stuff sounds like the Dead of the same time (late '70s), a coincidence reinforced by the fact that Can had both an awesome kit drummer, Jaki Liebezeit (which is German for "love of time," heh heh), and ex-Traffic conga player Reebop Kwaku Baah.

Any other Krautrock fanatics on this board?

i can't fall asleep with heavily structured/repetitive arrangements.

Alone: Vangelis' album "Opera Sauvage".

With company :evilgrin: : Enigma MCMXC ad.

Now: None. My wife doesn't like go-to-sleep music. :(

There's a cd called "The Planet Sleeps," that's a collection of lullabies from around the world. That one puts me out every time.

Hillary Stagg's "Dream Spiral" (schmaltzy new age harp music, but incredibly tranquil and relaxing).

Earl Klugh's "Ballads" collection.

Anything by Shirley Horn.

Keith Jarrett's "The Meoldy At Night With You."

Man, I'm getting sleepy just thinking about these....

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's.
