Albums you sleep to....

[Jimmy... Dead.]

What do you listen to right before you go to sleep.

I always look for something relaxing and interesting.

Mogwai - Come on,Die young
Jesu - S/T
Angelic process - Weighing souls

...The song Cogwheel by Scythe has been on my list. I just listen to that song over and over before I fall asleep.

 

[Alter]

The past few nights it has been Animal Collective and Bon Iver.

 

[PowerSpirit]

Don't fall asleep to any music. How can people even fall asleep with so much noise in ur ears is beyond my understanding.

 

[Krow]

Silencer ~ Death - Pierce Me

Sweet dreams right?

 

[Alter]

That album would be great to fall asleep to one night...

 

[Melodeath]

I don't sleep to music too much anymore, but when I do, it's usually Helios or some other such ambient stuff.

I used to sleep to any type of metal though, really.

Cool to see a Bon Iver mention btw.

In my case, I actually listen to them quietly while I'm lying in my bed and feeling like I'm ready to sleep, and don't actually leave them playing all night while I'm sleeping.

Also, it's a fact that some people have developed a need to have some kind of familiar sound in order to sleep well, whether it's white noise or quiet music.

Yeah dude, Bon Iver rules. Cool to see someone else on the boards who digs 'em.

 

[Xorv]

I need the news to help me sleep. it keeps away the faces and dark figures that hide in the dark corners to the entrances. I use to like me some Hannity and Colmes (I'd never watch it awake, tho) but usually I'm starting to like Anderson cooper.

no metal tho, I don't want to turn over in my sleep and break the device.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

Arcana - Raspail
Estradasphere - Palace Of Mirrors
October Falls - Marras/Tuoni
Empyrium - Weiland
Burzum - Filosofem
Vinterriket/Paysage d'Hiver - Das Winterreich/Schnee
Shawn Lane - Powers Of Ten

And a couple more...

 

[MasterOLightning]

Leviathan - A Silhouette In Splinters
Cat Power - Moon Pix
Elysian Blaze - Levitating The Carnal
Trist (Ger) - Hin
Velvet Cacoon - Genevieve

 

[challenge_everything]

I find listening to music in bed before I sleep is the best way to absorb new music. I like to listen to an album a couple of times in my car or something and then when I play it in bed, in the dark with no distractions, it all clicks for me.

Having said that, my regular albums would be anything by Dead Can Dance and Elend.

 

[Perdition's Light]

Leviathan - A Silhouette In Splinters
Cat Power - Moon Pix
Elysian Blaze - Levitating The Carnal
Trist (Ger) - Hin
Velvet Cacoon - Genevieve

Cat Power is some pretty cold, suicidal metal.

This is for napping though, not proper sleeping. Can get some pretty trippy dreams listening to stuff while sleeping.
