Relaxing music for sleep

[Kitty]

The only thing I can ever do with wired-but-tired is sit up and use up some of the brain energy. Recorded music for that is anything with a strong beat.

I couldn't sleep while listening to music though—I can't not pay attention to it. It'd be like trying to fall asleep when there's a horse in your bedroom.

Or loud neigh-bours? Sorry..

I am reminded of the instruction at the beginning of Fats Waller's "The Joint is Jumpin'"

Tempo di sturb de neighbours

There is some music for sleep on the Insight Timer app.
My sensory issues make music not something I’d want to sleep to but I think I’ve seen all sorts of brain wave sleep inducer type tracks you might find something useful.

Much of it is free. It’s a meditation app so just ignore & skip anything else you don’t want

I’m with @Trish and @Mij on preferring audiobooks to music when trying to fall asleep. Something with a pleasant voice is important. Often I find myself zoning out, and I don’t end up following the story. I also do this with podcasts but it can be trickier to find one where a commercial or music isn’t going to interrupt the voices and wake me up.

I really like relaxdaily's music.

Spoiler: A few different styles

If I wake during the night and struggle to get back to sleep , I tune in to BBC Radio 3 's sleeping forecast
which is a mix of classical music ( some are breakthrough artists) intertwined with excerpts from the shipping forecast

It usually works - an episode link below

The Sleeping Forecast - Hunker down and drift away - BBC Sounds

Settle your mind and and drift off with this classical and ambient mix.
