@dan@actuallyautistic@actuallyadhd@CynAq my second child (now 18) always fell asleep to Megadeth or early Pink Floyd. She's 18 now and still falls asleep to Megadeth. I've been falling asleep to music for 35 years and one of the best things is I get a stronger emotional reaction to songs I've fallen asleep to next time I hear it. It has both waking world and sleeping world associations. at that point. I fall asleep to any type of music, from Apex Twin and The Clash, to Stravinsky and Beethoven. If I like it, it's relaxing
I like sleeping listening to the entire The Wall album by Pink Floyd. Another full album I like to sleep through is Dream Theater’s Metropolis pt:2 Scenes from a Memory. Sleep through the whole thing if I listen to it in bed 😂

I did when I was younger, but since then music has become my special interest (I'm a composer) so now I find myself so engaged with music that it's energizing me instead of relaxing me.
I've had the same playlist on repeat for the last two weeks while in a very stressful and chaotic situation, and I think it's one of the few things that has kept me semi-regulated.
I do fall asleep to music sometimes, but it's usually to block out the noise of the TV if my wife stays up longer than me. Otherwise I always have white noise to sleep with.
The times I fall asleep with music, it's usually low key sleepy ambient music. It gives me something to focus my brain on.

when I was in high school, I listened to a Soft Music station at 99.1FM that helped me go to sleep...that format doesn't exist on commercial radio anymore. I have "relaxing music" on CD, many of it Asian inspired, but I haven't really given it a try as an actual rest/sleep aid.
