Although I have fell asleep in a club a couple of times, I can't usually fall asleep to EDM. Honestly, I prefer complete silence but sometimes I'll throw on Dark Side of the Moon or something similar to pass out to if I am in the mood.

ive been like that eversince..though i listen to the tunes ive purchased or mix comps i bought...

well i dont mind total silence

but my roomate likesto listen to rap or hip hop when he goes to sleep

kinda annoying but i dont mind it lol

Yep! Hybridized.org ensures I get a peaceful night's sleep

That or I throw on an essential mix - Optimo's one is a goodun, Tom Novy's one was good too but the king of them was Cagedbaby from January last year - perfect chilled acid/house/tech/electro for snoozing to hehe

The best thing about listening to music when you sleep is if you wake up, you don't get pissed off cos you can't get back to sleep again, you just think "awesome, I love this tune!" - although that can have the adverse effects that I experienced when I woke up at the same point during a Jody Wisternoff mix 3 nights in a row. Fucking top tune though

I can't have music playing when I try to sleep. My brain can't switch off if there's something for it to be analyzing.

same here..without music i pretty much just lay there for 2hrs.. so i just make a 30minute playlist n set the Mac to go-standby as soon as the music finishes.

i've been like this for at least 5yrs.

ever since i was a baby (according to my parents) i've been like this

i'm not able to sleep unless there's music playing or i'm passed out drunk

i can sleep without tunes, it just takes me a while to fall asleep

...music is a bigger part of my life than i thought

Im the same

Sometimes the music also gets twisted into my dreams.

I'll throw on some ambient when I'm studying sometimes, but I sleep in silence. I don't want my speakers to be running all night, and then all day.

Can't fall asleep when there's sound. Only some ambient stuff like rain, thunderstorms, crickets... Though I fall asleep much faster if I listen to music before going to bed.

i was on a kick where i'd fall asleep listening to mixes, but i ended up staying up trying to anticipate things in the music/mixing, so i had to stop. i just turn the tv volume down a little and put it on sleep. i cant sleep in dead silence cuz i just start thinking about everything and anything.

i don't know your problem personally, but though music may be a massive part of your life i think you could probably put on like a nature soundtrack and it would do the trick too



personally i usually sleep 3-4 days of the week and i am usually working late on the weekdays and deejaying on weekends so when i do sleep it's easy

if i put music on when i sleep i get fucked up half dream half reality experiences

progressive is great to sleep on...i do it often. i can sleep on trance or techno too. it's a really nice feeling when you're somewhere between sleep and awake and you hear some nice edm sounds in the background.

tranced

it's not a problem by any means, i enjoy listening to music while i sleep

total silence for me if i listen to uplifting trance i want to go out.

I did used to sleep with music for about 7 years.

I usually listened to Psytrance, Ambient, Trance, progressive, whatever the mood I feel.

I don't really feel asleep with music, I just listen for about 2 hours, and I get in a state wehre I'm awake and sleep at the same time.

then afte the music finish I will fall asleep, I rearely get to sleep with music playing.

Now I stop doing that, because I have problems with my ears, and that' beacuse the haven't rest for 7 years, so now I just don't play music while sleeping, well maybe 15 or 20 minutes, and I get to sleep.

I think it's kind of an obsession, that I don't want to stop listenign to music.

where can i get nature sounds (like cricket sounds) so i can playit during the night

i think it would be cool :-D

i wouldn't get sleep properly if there was music playing. i love my music but i also love silence. i'd rather have everything dead silent when i'm going to bed and when i'm doing something that requires deep thinking (studying etc.).

Your local music store probably has a couple hidden in some dusty corner where no one ever goes next to the country and bluegrass.

im right there with ya. i can't go to sleep unless i got some tunes playin.

for a while, i was listening to Adam Johnson - Four Square and some other deep tech house stuff, but now i just tune into Groove Salad and im out like a fucking light.

and is it just me, or are dreams effected by what u hear? I find that if its complete silence my dream would be rather dull, but with some chillout/ambient lurking in the background, they have much more emotion and i can remember them better.

I like your avatar..a lot.

Yes, ever since I was about 10-12 years old...I usually (5-6 nights out of 7) have some sort of edm playing for me while i fall asleep. Sometimes though, I put on some banging toon, and it gets me active so I'm forced to turn it off completely to really cool down and fall asleep.

Try a fan. I turn the fan on and my body switches into sleep mode (probably bc you hear the fan all night and eventually associate it with sleep). Its also just loud enough to cover up stupid noises that keep me up (cars, house noises, neighbors, etc). Then in the morning I turn off the fan and turn the music on to start my brain for the day. Problem is I can't sleep without a fan now.

If I have something on it always diverts my attention to that. I don't like that, my brain can't focus on sleeping. Basically if I have music on I fear someone is in my room with a knife standing over my about to kill me and I can't hear anything cause I got earphones on
