Sleep lists

Didn't find anything when I searched for this, so here we go:
I don't know about you, but I like to fall asleep/relax to music.
I put together playlists of the most relaxing and soothing songs I can think of, and just set them on repeat upon going to bed.

Here's my current list (limited it to one song per artist on this one):
maudlin of the Well - (Interlude) 4
Panzerpappa - Apraxia
Van Der Graaf Generator - My Room (Waiting for Wonderland)
Magyar Posse - One By One
Höyry-Kone - Beata Viscera
Anekdoten - Prince of the Ocean
Mono - A Heart Has Asked for the Pleasure
Mothlite - Neverbegoodwood
Talk Talk - New Grass
David Sylvian - The Boy with the Gun
Bo Hansson - Lothlorien

Well, now it's your turn. Post your sleep/relax lists or your favourite chill-out songs.

I probably am not the best person to ask because I like taking naps listening to ObZen, but here's one of my things. Lately I have been listening to the tracks from "Lift your skinny fists..." by Godspeed you Black Emperor, in the dark in bed so I can fall asleep. There's a beautiful section in "Static" that is just so beautiful it makes me want to fall asleep, and I rarely can listen to music and want to go to bed. I just take a while to get to bed. But this song just overwhelmed me. "Antennas to Heaven" is a good track.

I second Bo Hansson, Ur Trollarkens Hatt, Lord of the Rings, pretty much all that stuff does nicely for sleep..  also I used to drift off to Allan Holdsworth's Road Games though it's not a boring album at all

Tangerine Dream Underwater Sunlight is one of the most relaxing albums I own, and obviously Echoes, but I cannot sleep listening to music. If I want to force my self to sleep I watch When Dreams May Come - I've never seen the second half of that film.

Same for me. I just lie awake listening to it. The changes and the intricacies of the music are far too distracting.

I'd rather listen to Brian Eno or some other ambient electronic music, although someone mentioned David Sylvian; Secrets of the Beehive is a great album to drift off to.

I've often used that album. "Time" disturbs things a little though...

basically, any heavy metal is sleep music

"Venus" from The Planets by Gustav Holst

I like having the sleep fuction so the player turns off.   sleep sets have changed over the years, it used to be New Chataqua by Pat Metheny,  for a while Kitaro,  the First Enigma album is very soothing though with Kitaro not Prog. 

sigur ros, Hecq, Stars of the Lid, some Godspeed Songs, Tortoise, Talk Tak, Ulver,  maybe some drone, like Sunn O))) or Earth or Boris.

and Simon and Garfukel,
