What music do you like to fall asleep to?

Er, the title pretty much explains. My wife listens to podcasts and falls asleep to them but I can't not listen to a human voice so I listen to (ideally instrumental) music.
Anyone else? If so, what do you put on to drift away to?
Some kind of ambient instrumental. Or nature sounds. Nothing with lyrics or I won’t be able to concentrate on sleeping lol.

I listen to this on loop for 12 hours. every day for the last 270 years.

I can't with music. I put a Scholar's Lore video on youtube and I'm sleeping within 5 minutes even when I'm not trying to fall asleep.

Believe it or not the Goldberg variations works for me.

Rain or Thunder is very calming to fall asleep to. Though most often it's with a TV show on. Something I've seen a bunch before and can nod off to, without missing anything. Just comfort noise.

Try Brian Enos Music for Airports. Good luck trying to make it through the end without sleeping.

Isn't it dangerous to train yourself to fall asleep to music? What if you need to take a long drive? You put on some tunes, zzzzzzz CRASH!

I prefer to read to sleep; but if it's to be music, mellow children's music or classical.

Chill Out by the KLF. Always soothes me.

The sound of silence. I don't mean Simon & Garfunkel, and I definitely don't mean Disturbed (though, it's a good cover).
Honestly though, I can sleep to whatever. My younger brother used to sleep to death metal. I'm not kidding. It was annoying for about a week. We've had noisy neighbors and my wife will ask if she should go yell at them or something when I'm about to go to bed (she stays up all night, I wake up early). I say nope, it's not an issue. And it never has been. I don't think I can sleep to a baby crying or a shrill alarm though. Anything high pitched. I'm pretty sure I even fell asleep to loud sex one time. As I was drifting off, I could have sworn I heard moaning and thumping. I remember having a bit of a chuckle over that. Hot college girl used to live next door, she's getting railed TF out of like 2 feet away through a wall, and she'd be embarrassed if I saw her in her underwear (I never tried to look, just saying). But you don't really think, there's another room right there, another bed up against the same wall, and somebody who always leaves before the sun comes up is probably in there. So yeah, anyway, I'm a heavy sleeper.

My go-to is streaming playlists by Northernlion. Something about his voice is incredibly soothing. I think I've probably gone through his Rimworld playlists (both of them) at least 10 times over the years.

I declare that from now on Baby Shark is defined as mellow. Goodnight.
Bonus nightmare points: Kars4kidz is mellow too, by the way.

I prefer silence, but had to get a white noise machine to help drown out the neighbors. Nothing crazy, I'm just sensitive and grumpy.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Hammock, psychedelic trance music, or there is a lucid dreaming playlist on YouTube Music I like.
ETA "Psybient", there used to be a perfect playlist called psybient, that may work well as a search term to find that downbeat psychedelic trance music.
No way could I fall asleep to a podcast, but my husband plays Alan Watts explaining meditation, and that I sure can. Maybe it would be a middle ground for y'all - a guided meditation?

Soma FM - Dronezone
It's pretty much perfect: free, no commercials, rain, ocean, droney. I actually listen to it most of the day, if I can.Sometimes there are higher pitched drone tunes that aren't as dreamy (for me)
