Sign in to disble this ad
The other night when I had my dorm all to myself, I decided to put on a mix of Explosions in the Sky, And So I Watch You From Afar, and Mimas to play through my computer. I realized that I really, really like sleeping to music. I'll take naps while listening to music sometimes, but sleeping with music doesn't really bother me either.
Anyone else in the same boat as me? What do you like to play while you sleep?

generally end up listening to Kind of Blue or Minus the Bear's They Make Beer Commercials Like This.
Both on vinyl, of course; when you hear the click of the arm going back to base you know it's sleepy time..  |

Don't think I have ever heard it all the way through before nodding off. But, usually I like it as quiet as possible for sleeping. |

It's a beautiful album, but just unassuming enough that I can relax and not listen to it. I never make it to the end of the album before I'm out cold. |

listen to it. then again. then again. theres very subtle, crazy oscillations on top of the soothing melody. its kind of a yoga thing, where part of your brain is focusing on one thing, and one part on another. works for me every time.
i also have a bad habit of leaving a candle lit while i sleep, so i will probably burn to death to some soothing ambient genius. |

|  | THIS HAND OF MINE GLOWS WITH AN AWESOME POWER! | | Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: USA; Mitchellville, Maryland | | I honestly cannot sleep without some sort of background sounds. Be it the A/C, a fan, wildlife outside, rain, wind, etc I need it to sleep. Of course I prefer music though . I normally just pick an album and dose off eventually. I'm actually about to put on Esthero's Wikk'd Lil Grrrls or Tony Grey's Moving and hit the sack right now ;p

My wife on the other hand will fall asleep in no time if music is playing softly. |

I used to listen to music when I had a roommate in college, but once I had my own room it was back to the tube for the most part. |
