    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?

      Nothing. No music. No white noise (I absolutely hate white noise). Just silence

        I only listen to something if I'm having trouble turning off my thoughts. In those cases, I listen to the Let's Read YouTube channel.

          Usually nothing. But if I need to it's either Dead Can Dance or Ludovico Einundi.

              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.

                  Nothing, or a YouTube video that's mildly entertaining but not too much so I don't regret missing the end by falling asleep. LTT for instance.

                    Some kind of ambient instrumental. Or nature sounds. Nothing with lyrics or I won’t be able to concentrate on sleeping lol.

                            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.

                                      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.

                                          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?

                                          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.
