Can't fall asleep with music on, but make love to Verdi's Anvil Chorus. Or The Flight of The Bumble Bee.

Any tune of any of them seems to do the trick!

I can't sleep with music on either, I always need silence and dark to get to sleep, hence I can't sleep in cars, on planes, on ferries or much else.

If I had to choose something I'd probably go for something soothing and classical, the rest of my music collection is definitely NOT music to sleep by Twisted Evil

Cheers

I need total silence to sleep. If a bed bug farts it disturbs me.

At least Mrs Flip says it's the bed bugs. Thinking

I need music to sleep I always slept with my ipod on if I don't my mind wanders and I can't sleep.

My usual was;

Pantera : Suicide note part 1

The trick was to try and get to sleep before

Pantera : Suicide note part 2 started.

If that didnt work then Led zeppelins - Moby dick normally got me right to sleep. (you can save you silly puns about the dick part lol)

Moody blues.

ALthough I'd preferr silence for sleeping.

Cannot sleep if there is a fucking bluebottle in the room. My neighbours must think I'm crazy, running round the room in my boxers, waving a t-shirt about. One always seems to manage to get in somehow and they will not stop and settle anywhere, you'd think they'd run out of power after a while.

I have to listen to music to go to sleep, at the moment it's Althlete - Vehicles and Animals,

other albums are
Kelly Clarkson- Breakaway
Goo Goo Dolls- Dizzy up the girl
Idlewild- American English
Alanis Morisette- acoustic album which I have forgotten the name of but I absolutely adore.

but I seem to have lost breakaway which is rather annoying.

Pernig, you have just given me some good ideas for sleeping music, I need some new ones, thanks! Thumbs Up

Anything but it has to be with headphones and not speakers for some reason, either that or no music at all.

Some music can wake you up though (as they're supposed to 'peak' you back up) Wink

When living in the Midlands, used to set Chill radio on my DAB radio to play for 30 minutes on sleep mode. They used to have a theme some nights called "The dream factory", my god, how it worked.

I'm also someone who generally cannot sleep with any sort of sound either. Can't sleep in cars, trains etc, but the chilled music just sends me to zzzzzzzzzzz

Touché, might nod off to a bit of Kelly Clarkson tonight. Not listened in a while.

I actually thought I was a bit odd for preferring to go to sleep to music, but after reading this thread it seems I'm not alone!
