When I was about 14 I went to bed every night to Jimi Hendrix 1983 a merman I shall be for at least year.. Now I have Bon Iver, Sigur Ros, Tindersticks etc. Never go to sleep without music what do you guys reckon?

Nightmares

Boards of Canada
Fucked up dreams all the way

Amnesiac
I don't tend to sleep well without music.
Nick Drake
Simon and Garfunkel (mid 60s stuff)
Some Byrds
Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker
If you're as knacked as me - anything
I went to sleep with lightning bolt on my headphones last week. :(
tracks from atlas sound's blog...
.
good choice
I have done this quite a bit too.
i don't like sleeping to music
but sometimes when i'm drunk i'll stick on Ocean Songs
if i do its usually either
explosions in the sky
american analog set
stars of the lid
EITS
The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place
i like
ellegy for all the dead rock stars by thurston moore
Anything by Sparklehorse
do you have
Hammock's latest album?
Nick Drake
is also really good, and Mountain Goats.. Really not sure about Mars Volta though! Frances the Mute?
Metallica
Somehow I managed to fall asleep while listening to Enter Sandman, no idea how.
Hip-hop usually
El-p, I can penetrate his rhyme schemes easier when Im half asleep!
Sometimes something like Tindersticks or Sunny Day Real Estate
Falling asleep listening to Enter Sandman would be easy.
I reckon I could sleep through the whole Black Album and everything else they released after it.
he left
that one wide open
Stars of the lid,
Max Richter, Boards of Canada, tunng... etc etc.
Although to be honest i sleep to most of my music... apart from the odd exception (like Hella et al...)
love
el p
Eluvium - Copia
Takashi Wada - Araki
The latter will have you dreaming of japanese beaches, the sort that appear in every Kitano film.
Definitely Nick Drake
yup
Pink Moon for me recently
good albums:
stars of the lid - refinement....
a lily - wake:sleep
beach house - s/t (2nd album is poor by comparision)
Say Hi
I once fell asleep
at a Mogwai gig
another good one..
Michael Andrews' orchestral Donnie Darko soundtrack.
again; some pretty odd/intriguing dreams.
Grace by Jeff Buckley.
I should try this more often actually. I usually listen to music right before I go to sleep, but never actually try and fall asleep while listening.
Liars - Drum's Not Dead
minimal techno is surprisingly nice as well. That Minilouge album "Animals" is very relaxing.
good shout on durms not dead
anything puts me to sleep.
I used to go to sleep to
Mogwai - Rock Action
Sigur Ros - ( )
My Morning Jacket - It still moves
John Martyn - Solid Air
Black Box Recorder - The Facts of Life
Mercury Rev - All is Dream/Deserters Songs/The Secret Migration
I stopped putting music on to fall asleep to though when I saw an interview with Stuart Braithwaite and he was saying that it was insulting when fans would come up to him and say that they go to sleep with his music on, he'd much prefer that they actually listen to it.....fair point, really
i love
solid air more than i love macaroni cheese. stunning album.
also, Air have made some quality sleeping tunes, especially the Virgin Suicides soundtrack.
Epic 45
and also Trembling Blue Stars
more a voice. . .used to love
listening to Mark Radcliffe when he did R2 cos a)I love his rambling voice b)he tended to pick great tunes. He moved to day time then and was replaced by some honking, yakking twat. At least I still have the lovely Guy Garvey on Sundays - again, great voice,good tunes.
Mazzy Star
I listened to some Steve Reich
before bed time last night,thinking it would help as its pretty chilled (minimal and that) and just couldn't get the sodding rhythms out of my head.
() by Sigur Ros is a good one, as is a bit of Murcof.
El Perro Del Mar
By the fourth track of the self-titled debut, guaranteed sleep will occur.
Eluvium
or The Field.
Anything...
if I'm tired enough otherwise alt/free folk by people like charalambides, Cath and Phil Tyler and Edith Frost.
eits
( ) by sigur ros also but i'll start feeling really sad if it gets to untitled 3 and i'm still awake
all air albums and interpol - turn on the bright lights
Tim Hecker
Harmony in ultraviolet,
amazing soundscapes, this record takes you places
Efterklang
lots and lots
I tend to listen to these on a fairly regular basis; Hammock (Kenotic), Labradford (Mi Media Naranja), Nick Drake, Ghastly City Sleep (s/t)
i always find Low
Drums & Guns works very very well. im not saying that its boring. just soothing.
Fuck Buttons
yup.
^ i did this the other day
with beer in my summerhouse just so amazing album whole way through
Yndi Halda
'Dash & Blast' in particular.
something moody/drony when i am sober
bohren club de gore, earth, black dog.
Sleeping when drunk: cro mags, bad brains, black flag [insert any other sing along earlyhardcore], lots of videogame music.
either loveless or
hatful of hollow.
Sleeping to music is really difficult though!
Talk Talk
'Spirit Of Eden'. Oh, and Mercury Rev's 'Deserter's Songs' usually does the job.
well theres lots of stuff, but the quintisential sleep music for me is
simply, Board of Canada.
*Boards
My favs are;
Nick Drake
Portishead
Richard Hawley
Jeff Buckley
Spirituailzed...
Laser guided melodies.
I do have a habit of listen to Sigur Ros, but then getting loudly awakened in a panic by aggressive dance music, as Simian mobile disco are next on itunes.
red house painters
I used to listen to EITS, Godspeed, Sigur Ros
until one time I had some EITS playing and here was a really loud bit that woke me up really suddenly. Since then i've stuck with Sigur Ros, The Everly Brothers, Panda Bear, Stars of the Lid, Boards of Canada or the good ol' Russell Brand Podcast. Oh, every so often I go through phases of listening to the radio in bed - usually LBC. Funny... there are so many insane people that listen to the radio and call in in the middle of the night.
It must also be noted
that i often find it hard to sleep when listening to The Russell Brand Podcast as I laugh too much. I will also listen to a stand up DVD or this collection of prank phonecalls I have every so often. Genius.
for
me it has to be something that is consistently quite, such as Nick Drake , 'Pink Moon' I suppose, or the Last Town Chorus.
if you're Tom Hanks..
..and / or very skinny, "Streets of Philadelphia".
Lullatone
Hell, even their 'best of' was called "We Will We Will Rock You (To Sleep)"
Eno all the way
Brian Eno - Ambient 1: Music For Airports
Brian Eno - Music For Films
Brian Eno - Ambient 4: on Land

KLF, Burial, Eno, Hammock, Aphex Twin, amongst many many others I cant rember feature on it.
Zauberberg or Pop
By Gas
oh yeah
good choice. I have had those on for about a week on and off.
The For Carnation
ever since it came out
I love going to sleep to Colleen's Golden Morning Breaks. I like dreams where you explore really old buildings and that album evokes just that for me.
I could sleep to pretty much anything
Chopin last night
Black Dice the night before
if you can find it
i suggest the dream house/sketches for flea by windy and carl.
its brilliant for falling asleep too
I thought I'd
fall straight off to sleep with Interpol - TOTBL, but it totally didn't work. It put me on edge and kept me awake :(
Ivor Cutler
old loon reads bedtime stories, is nice.
i once fell asleep
during a richie hawtin set at creamfields, when he played harder music than he does now.
another vote for sigur ros (), it's harder to sleep if i can understand the words.
Bruce Springsteen
Nebraska is wonderful to put on before you go to bed.
I dont listen to music while going to sleep
i want to listen and appreciate music, not have it as a background.
mazzy star
...
Pink Moon
on the rare times I'm not listening to the radio.
Sigur Rós ( everything)
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Beck- Mutations
Nick Drake - Pink Moon
Pink Floyd - Devision Bell
Royksopp - Melody A.M.

I reckon that these are worth a mention;
