Music and sleeping

[no country for old wainds]

Falling asleep to Stravinsky is awesome.

 

[Melodeath]

Any genre. Really, whatever I feel like listening to works.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

Sleep, Jesu, Shape of Despair, Mogwai... those are some bands I listen to when going to sleep

 

[Christie_fell]

Mostly classical or gregorian chant. I used to listen to Agalloch to sleep, but more recently it has been Empyrium, Summoning, Ulver or Nest. Isafjord is also good.

 

[TheGraveDigger]

Dream Theater, Axel Rudi Pell, and Yngwie Malmsteen are all favorites of mine to throw on late at night, relax and eventually doze off to.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk is a great album to listen to while falling asleep...


Also, Ocean Machine by Devin Townsend is perfect, except the scream at the end of Things Beyond Things always wakes me up. I read somewhere that Devin intentionally put it in there to keep people from falling asleep while driving. Bloody genius!!!

i tend to get less sleep if I fall asleep with the tv or stereo going.

 

[ProjectedBlack]

I rarely sleep with music on and have a hard time falling asleep with the TV on.

If I fall asleep with music on I really never fall asleep, between being awake and being asleep and I have very very strange dreams.

 

[Christie_fell]

Quite the opposite for me. It is easier to sleep with background noise.

That's a lot like me.
I also like Karl Sanders' Saurian Meditation and October Falls' Marras and Tuoni.

 

[MURAI]

I go to sleep to music almost every night. It can be just about anything but folky stuff is good. Although The Gathering has helped me get to sleep countless times.

The day you went away.. you had to screw me over

Do you have to put things in bold so you can read it, slant-eye?

 

[Life Sucks]

I can't fall asleep while listening to music. But I often listen to more mellow metal close to bedtime, to help me wind down; usually doom metal or atmospheric black metal.

 

[Post_Scriptum]

Going to sleep with Godspeed is what I do

 

[Maggot9]

Opeth mostly, with BWP. I assume when I get Damnation I'll be falling asleep to that more

I'd laugh because it is funny, but he's stealing what is undeniably my thunder.

I live in a small apartment and my computer is constantly playing albums through iTunes. I use shuffle by album so I hit the sack with whatever it playing. I only sleep 4-5 hours max per night though.

Laltely some of my favourite bands to listen to in bed/trying to sleep are Agalloch, Alarum, Ayreon, Devin Townsend, Miles Davis and Opeth..but it's all a matter of luck really (because 90% of the time I just have album shuffle on) and I'm usually in the mood for anything anyway.
