Mike always sleeps with heavy metal playing in the background

[Hell Mike]

I don't know how the fuck he does it, I must sleep in complete silence but I don't think he can sleep unless he listens to heavy metal at a fair volume all night. Maybe it's because he has some tinnitus and needs music to drown out the annoying noises, oh well... Now I like heavy metal and all, but sleeping with earplugs doesn't rule very much. I'm tired and I'd like some breakfast but Mike says I can't wake him up until 12 AM so I'm stuck posting junk on his computer.

I fell asleep with Ancient Rites playing full blast once, it's not hard if you're tired.

 

[Hell Mike]

Yeah, but ALWAYS is different. I bet I've done it too when I'm drunk or something, but otherwise I can't sleep with just about any sound at all in the background. Can't have my computer on either, nothing.

 

[Captain Beard]

Not sure, then. Could be the tinnitus.

 

[Nico]

I usualy can't fall asleep unless there's music playing, and I find the faster/heavier, the faster I crash out. Though Agalloch and Opeth are good to sleep to, for obvious reasons.

It's not hard if it's Ancient Rites, I'll give you that...

I sometimes fell asleep with music on. It's a disturbing feeling.

 

[Captain Beard]

I ALSO fell asleep with Six Feet Under going, but that was because it was BORING.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

I always have my headphones on when I go to sleep. With metal, though usually relatively chill metal.

 

[Captain Beard]

JEWWWWS!

 

[Henrik Main]

I usually use earplugs when going to sleep, as I can't STAND having annoying noises in the background (such as clocks ticking)

 

[Crimson Velvet]

I have tinnitus, too, so always sleep with music in the background, unless I'm not alone.

 

[KILL TULLY]

I always sleep with metal as well, i put my iTunes on shuffle and my laptop right next to my head.

 

[Krilons Resa]

I ALWAYS fall asleep to metal. gotta

 

[lurch70]

if I need to fall asleep fast, usually putting on a quiet slow movie and trying to pay attention to it, works miracles.

something like 2001 A Space Odysey or similar ...

Right on. Me too, every night.

 

[dill_the_devil]

Same here. No tinnitus, I just find it quite relaxing. Night before last, it was Candlemass's new album. Teh WIN!

 

[DE]

I sleep with music on quite often, and always with my PC on. I'm a reeeally heavy sleeper.

 

[NAD]

I have to listen to 20 minutes of music as I pass out every night or I'll toss and turn for hours. Carcass - Heartwork and Pearl Jam - Ten are the two albums that I've fallen asleep to the most.

Under 20 and I say "HEY! where are the tunes!?" get up and turn on the CD player again. Over 20 and I end up throwing my headphones off in disgust, it's pretty weird.

 

[Tranquillian]

I broke two pairs of $70 sony earplug sets by twisting and turning in bed, listening to music when I fell asleep. Therefore I got a ministereo so I can listen to music while I go to sleep. Last night it was Burzum that rocked me to sleep.

I used to do this with Bladerunner sometimes! Awesome movie, though!
