Bloodseeker Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Its time for another random thread about whatever's on my mind. And in this case, I'm about to go to sleep. So on that note, what songs put you to sleep? For me, its Lost in Hollywood on System of Down's "Mesmerized" album and To Live Is To Die on Metallica's "...And Justice for All" album. Both of them are soft sounding without being depressing, and never get loud enough to wake me up. I could never get to sleep with those depressing old-school "soothing" orchastra pieces that you hear on CDs that are supposed to calm you down. Actually, I have fallen asleep to that when I was really tired, but like I said it depresses me, and the couple of times that I did I woke up with nightmares. Enya has the same effect. You can't get any more depressing than Enya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fall Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Some Kind Of Monster by Metallica, or Close My Eyes by Pain. Heavy songs, but they have a good rhythm/beat. Put me to sleep in seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamuro Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 [SIZE=1]I usually like more relaxing music while I'm drifting off to sleep. It also depends on the mood I'm in though. I usually put on some good acoustic music. Feeling Left Out, afarewelltoarms, even some Dashboard if the occasion calls for it.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake of Bodom Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 I listen to Finntroll to fall asleep. I know it's strange, seeing as there's nothing calm about Finntroll [I]at all[/I], but something about their music truly relaxes me. The track that usually relaxes me the most, especially when I'm falling asleep, is [I]Skogens Hämnd[/I] off the album [I]Jaktens Tid[/I]. It's either that, Children of Bodom, or In Flames.

OtakuSennen Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 I actually have a playlist on my iPod dedicated to songs that help me sleep. There's 38 of them, but I guess the big ones are Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Reaper," "That House" by The Pillows, "Hey" by the Pixies, Weezer's "Across the Sea" and Yuki Kajiura's "Fake Wings." A lot of the songs aren't sleep-inducing, though.. A lot of them just leave me feeling serene or happy, or remind me of certain events in my life. It's not hard for me to fall asleep, as long as I'm left feeling content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 If anything, I try instrumentals. Anything with vocals in it is distracting and I find myself paying too much attention to sleep. So, something like A Whisper in the Noise or A Beautiful Machine or whatever. Ambient stuff, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
