Music that induces sleep. Suggestions?

nicfit · 07.13.2007, 04:34 AM

So, apparently my brain/body forgot how to properly sleep.
Do you have any suggestions on music that induces sleep?
Not just quiet music that won't prevent you from sleeping, like a sort of background music, but some tracks/artist that make you fall asleep (not for boredom) when you listen to them? It's kind of a strange question, I know, but I wanted to read your ideas on this matter.

DJ Olive has made two CDs specifically for that purpose, called Buoy and Sleep, released on Room 40.

There's also a compilation called Melatonin, also on Room 40.

Ummm....Stars of The Lid?

sonicl · 07.13.2007, 05:00 AM

And the compilation Goodnight: Music to Sleep By on Tigerbeat 6

You guys are "assuming" theese could work or you have personal experience?

_slavo_ · 07.13.2007, 05:04 AM

I have this CD by Stars of The Lid at home called "Per Aspera Ad Astra" that makes me pass out whenever I listen to it.

terminal pharmacy · 07.13.2007, 05:04 AM

mine all experience no assumption c'monnnnnnnn

nicfit · 07.13.2007, 05:07 AM

yeah, actually my question was addressed mainly to sonicl (not in an "aggressive" tone at all) becuz he listed cds done with that purpose in mind. I was curious to know if they worked for someone.

I had a time when it only was possible for me to fall asleep listening to Vibracathedral Orchestra - Arab Chord Chart.

But that doesn't work anymore.
Nowadays i usually watch televison, some documentation channel or something. It's unhealthy and stupid, i know
but it works.

nicfit · 07.13.2007, 05:11 AM

OH, and thanks for the suggestions!

I'm in a similar situation, it happens like once every 2/3 years. LAtely I watch tv too, but since I hate tv I mainly end up watching movies, but I enjoy them and even if I'm tired I keep on watching till the end. Heh. Bad move. Last night I saw three movies in a row. which is kind of "cool" (as long as the movies are good), but definitely does not help sleeping in my case...

Well I've never heard any of them right through to the end!

The compilations are quite hard to find by the way.

nicfit · 07.13.2007, 05:22 AM

Considering it's a quite an "impellent" need, I think I'll "snatch" some of those records off emule or something, then buy them if they works (or simply if I like them enough

).

jon boy · 07.13.2007, 05:40 AM

papa m always makes me nod off and keith fullerton whittman too.

i have certain songs/records that i always put on when i want to sleep, works almost everytime.

Why don't you just drink one-two beers or, better, go out for a jog for half an hour to make you a bit more tired?

_slavo_ · 07.13.2007, 08:12 AM

I've almost forgotten - "Soil" by Terre Thaemlitz is a near-perfect album to make you slumber.

I don't like drinking alone and that has nothing to do with tireness, sadly, even after an entire day of walking/ weights lifting and other fatiguing things semms like I jsut can't go to bed and sleep. It's annoying. Thanks again for the suggestions.
