What Music Do You Listen To When You Sleep ?

Right before you fall asleep and are lying in bed. what music do you put on ? I always put on some kind of music to sleep to every night, it's become a pattern. I dont think I haven't listened to music before i sleep in over 4 or 5 yrs.

Some great records to Sleep To:
Velvet Underground- S/t, Loaded, VU and the Quine Tapes
SY- Evol, Washing Machine, Nurse, Murray Street, EJTNS
Beck- One Foot in The Grave, Mutations
Neil Young - any record
Built To Spill- any record
Smashing Pumpkins- any record
Television- Marquee Moon
My Bloody Valentine- Loveless
REM- Eponymous, Automatic For the people
Nirvana- Unplugged
Superchunk- Tossing Seeds, No Pocket For Kitty
Beatles- White Album, Abbey Road
Meat Puppets- II, Too High To Die
Sebadoh- III, The Freed Weed
Amps- Pacer
Mazzy Star- So Tonight That I Might See

What about you guys ?

well I watch television when going to bed. But I want to get out of the habbit. Usually Ill listen to something long, it takes me a while to sleep. A few nights ago I listened some live derek and the dominos. Really repetive stuff also.

loveless is a good album,

also anything by people like ulrich schnauss or m83,

Lately it's been Pelican and Explosions in the Sky, but I bought the new Mogwai yesterday, so last night it was that.

There's been a bit of Steve Hillage's Rainbow Dome Musick recently too.

Not music, but I like to have the elctric fan blowing over me. The whirrr is very relaxing.

Yesterday I was listening:

Confusion is Sex.

yesterday it was MUGISON
the day before it was RADIAN

it's sort of dumb to listen music while sleeping, brain tends to need some rest too, you know.

well
it´s not i i listen to music while sleeping
i listen to it while falling asleep

yes, and your brain has extrawork until the music finishes.

that is not true

music can help your brain to relax

right... of course during that time when it needs to deal on it's own.

Simon Guibord
Isis
Don Caballero
Weights and Measures
Dntel

I can't sleep with music playing. But if I had to it would definetly be Do Make Say Think.

I normally like to play something in the restless time before I doze off. Like when I'm not totally tired but have nothing else to do but lie and listen... for that i like...
mazzy starr
ravi shankar
boards of canada
animal collective's sung tong or a comp of acoustic radio sessions
trainspotting sdtk
VU's s/t
walkmen's bow and arrows

calm or something

Brian Eno (usually "Music For Airports") and My Bloody Valentine.

Try listening to Freezer Burn/I Wanna Be Yr Dog in the dark with your eyes closed. I couldn't close my eyes for an hour afterwards.

I usually just listen to a sleep mix on my ipod. Sometimes when I sleep I wake up to the chaotic part of the Diamond Sea and have no idea what's going on.

i also like to listen to sonic youth's sweet shine, that puts me to sleep really easily, but at the end of the song there's about 2 minutes silence then theres alot of screeching, that wakes me up.
