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 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
It’s true, no music is indeed music and this is a perfect answer.
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.
Same. I listen to the Sleep With Me Podcast. Something so soothing about that man’s droning voice.
Try Brian Enos Music for Airports. Good luck trying to make it through the end without sleeping.
Melodic death metal 🫣
i had a phase where any type of death metal would make me sleepy. not sure why
Usually nothing. But if I need to it’s either Dead Can Dance or Ludovico Einundi.
Saint-Saëns “Carnival of the Animals”.
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.

I prefer to read to sleep; but if it’s to be music, mellow children’s music or classical.
I declare that from now on Baby Shark is defined as mellow. Goodnight.
Bonus nightmare points: Kars4kidz is mellow too, by the way.
Mell… low… songs doot doot de doot de doo
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)
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?
Watermark by Enya
blue moon take 9/m by elvis presley is an insane experience listening to while teetering between sleeping and awake
formula 1 onboard sounds. I’m not kidding, it’s SO relaxing
https://youtu.be/_5Lr6fDIZG8edit: I forgot to mention that I also hear the team radios and can hear them say stuff, so sometimes I’ll be dreaming and my brain will just add in lewis Hamilton or some shit lmao
You wouldn’t have been able to do that during the V10 years.

Let me guess,he’s complaining about his tyres?
Pink Floyd Division Bell or YouTube has some decent black screen music options. I really like black screen classical music mix, but sometimes it’s hard to find.
Nothing in the general case.
If I’m having issues getting to sleep because of stress, I turn on a Mighty Jingles World of Warships video. I usually don’t make it past the intro and I’m out.
