Re: Music You Sleep To?

<h2>Hello!</h2>
This is my first post!

I find it easier to fall asleep with music that has no lyrics. What I listen to ranges from organ instrumentals ("vampire music" as I like to call it), to metal instrumentals, and nature sounds. Occasionally, I will listen to Norah Jones, slow metal, and slow alternative. I just tend to sing along when I do that.

Billy Joel helps me sleep : specifically his songs River of Dreams and New York State of Mind.
I also love Enya although I'm not sure I have fallen asleep to her music.

I usually search through YT for instrumentals, because if the song has lyrics, I automatically focus on them. I find that those compilations where you put in the search tab music for relaxing/sleep help a lot, but Chinese traditional instruments also lull me to sleep.

Country music make me sleepy. I just want the slow beat and soothing effect it has. It works wonder in my eyes, making my eyelids magically heavy!

Chopin composed the most beautiful and serene piano music I've ever known. I've loved his music all my life. I could sleep, meditate, and relax with these beautiful compositions.
Heart! We will forget him!
You an I, tonight!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.

When you have done, pray tell me
That I my thoughts may dim;
Haste! lest while you're lagging.
I may remember him!

Slow jazz and blues helps me. Has done ever since I was a kid.

I prefer to fall asleep to light jazz or nature sounds, like the Ocean or rain.

Otherwise, I want to get up and sing and/or dance. hehehe.

I agree. I recently discovered the "sleep" playlist on Spotify, and I played the piano playlist last night, and that put me right to sleep.

Music does help me sleep at times--mostly softer, almost choir-like melodies. There's a twenty minute song by Clamavi De Profundis called "Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold," inspired by Tolkien's poem from The Hobbit, that is quick to ease me to sleep.

Video game orchestral movements are so relaxing and actually created to be in the background. When I am trying to relax or sleep in the day, I listen to that kind of music. And it is really enjoyable to make my own story listening to that instrumental music instead of having it told to me in lyrics.

I used to listen to my cd player while playing music which I do at night. it makes me feel better and be in a comfortable and secure position. I play mostly some instrumental as well as some songs with lyrics.
