What is some good music to fall asleep with?

Answer 1

it really depends on what your mind can relax too. i have found that Celtic instrument style music is calming. also similar to that is native American instrument music. you can actually find some of this in office depo.

Answer 2

I suffer from a mild form of tinitus, ringing in the ears, though in my case more a high pitched whine, like a steam turbine makes. For me, having background noise (music) works to lessen the distraction from the constant whine which is in my head. (HOW can I make it STOP?) A doctor once advised me to use background noise as a distraction as total silence would increase the ringing effect. Without something making noise around me, I find it very difficult to fall asleep even when I am completely tired out from a long hard day and have been yawning for many hours.

I like something soothing and to date the most soothing "music" comes from a set of 5 CD's called "Music from Space" which are actually sounds from the instruments on board the two Voyager spacecraft, currently the farthest man-made objects away from Earth. Last I heard, Voyager I passed 15 Billion kilometers, and Voyager II was at about 12 Billion kilometers, each traveling at somewhere around 17 km/sec and in their 29th year, both are STILL functioning! Each CD is an hour long, and each is unique compared to the others. These were put out by NASA over 10 years ago, because it was around 10 years ago I purchased the set at Costco for the grand sum of $10.

So, this isn't music in the traditional sense, but there is something in these sounds which seems to be music to me, and this is what works for me as that singular sound which helps me ignore the whining in my ears so I can fall asleep. As I get in bed and pop in one of the 5 CD's, and then lie there listening to this music from space, it is just SO easy to drift off to Never-Never Land...

It is hard to believe that close to 30 years since they were launched, both Voyager spacecraft are still going strong and sending back data... I wish my car worked so well for so long...

Send a message to me with an email address where I can contact you and if you want, I can send MP3 files of the 5 CD's. Each is BIG, about 25MB or so, we're talking a full hour of audio each.

But, if the "music from space" is not your thing, my fallback, is Mozart. Some of the things Mozart wrote are SO lyrical and melodic and soothing. The waltzes are the absolute best...

Correction: (Posted 3 days after original post) - The title of the CD set is "Symphonies of the Planets" and to the best of my reaearch has been out of print for at least 8 years.
