Perhaps it's too obvious to go with New Age stuff but the liquid synths of Thom Brennan do the trick very nicely!
I also use Tangerine Dream and Neuronium quite a bit. The latter is especially effective!

The same could be said of disc 2. The Mellotron chord that kicks off the fourth movement of Sysyphus scared the hell out of me when I tried it

 Good point. I guess I'm usually still awake at that point but rarely make it through Great Gig in the Sky.

Slayer-Reign In Blood and Black Sabbath-Sabbath Bloody Sabbath do it for me.

The first time I heard the debut album by U.K., I was really tired and half-asleep, and I was actually seeing the music. It was a really nice non-chemically enhanced trip.

The clocks chiming on Time always wakes me up if I try to drift off to DSOTM! My drift off albums are Music for Airports by Eno or Orbvs Terrarvm by The Orb. I generally find prog to 'busy' and interesting to sleep to. Even Floyd. |

I just had a wonderful dream-like out-of-body experience while napping to GLEB KOLYADIN's latest release, Water Moevements, a collection of solo all-instrumental keyboard (mostly beautifully-recorded piano) songs--beautifully produced by Vlad Avy.
But nothing has ever topped my experiences with Brian Eno's On Land |

some very different albums. many people may consider it impossible to drift off to some of them "Fairy Tales" by Mother Gong "Pawn Hearts" by Van der Graaf Generator most Magma albums, especially the live ones "Epsilon in Malaysian Pale" by Edgar Froese "Mirage" by Klaus Schulze early Tangerine Dream albums, especially "Rubycon" and "Zeit" "Clearlight Symphony" by Clearlight "Captain Beyond" by Captain Beyond "Photo Musik" by Christian Boulé "Black Market" by Weather Report "Cottonwoodhill" by Brainticket these are just a few examples; I could name many more

Usually I drift off to some comedy, spoken word, or audiobook. Has to be something I’m very familiar with already - the point is not to listen, just to have a vague focal point for my consciousness to rest on as the rest of the body winds down. Not unlike meditation. I do not like to go to bed without having something on the earphones.
Music-wise, anything is fair game, so long as I know it very well, it’s relatively free from sudden changes in volume, and is an album or artist that generally makes me happy/comfortable. Droning/abstract is best. For a couple of months recently it was 200 Motels by Zappa, a pretty atypical choice due to its jarring contrasts between orchestral music and Flo/Eddie yapping away. Luckily the album was recorded so poorly that such shifts do not disturb my sleep. |

How could I blasphemously forget Amorphis - Tuonela?.. It's gotta be in my top 5, at worst.

Dark Side of the Moon normally does it for me, but I reckon most Floyd albums would probably do the same (btw, I do like them but everything they do is at that kind of pace).

I find old-school atmospheric drum & bass music extremely relaxing for some reason. Goldie's 1995 album Timeless is a great example |

I forgot to include Nightwish's albums that are Oceanborn and Wishmaster.
