Sleep Assistance
Posted on Monday, July 27, 2009 in Indie/Folk
Nowadays a carefully selected iTunes playlist is to thank for getting me to sleep.
No longer can I rely on silence to nod off, instead some incredibly slow and relaxing songs at a very low level help in sending me to the clouds. It’s a little like counting sheep now but replace sheep with songs and see how many you can last.
The first song in my sleep playlist is from the album Plans by Death Cab For Cutie.
Death Cab For Cutie – Brothers On A Hotel Bed
More sleep playlist tracks to follow soon.
If you have any great sleep songs – drop the information in a comment!

Boards Of Canada….
agreed, i totally rock the sleep mix too sometimes. and what a great song to fall asleep to. as cliche as it may be, i also often include some of mark kozelek’s deep catalogue as well. that dude just lulls me to sleep somehow. oh and great picture too!
Hurricane by The Hush Sound is a good one for sleep.
Until We Bleep by Kleerup
Boy 1904 by Jnsi&Alex
Sleepyhead, the Run Toto Run cover
that picture is classic tokyo subway, im there at the moment and its incredible how many people sleep on the metro, but are able to suddenly spring to life when its their stop. very comical. Bonobo is also wiked sleep time music.

i usually search through blogs for electro music to dj with.. this track has been a favorite of mine ever since it was released

Album Leaf is pretty mellow. I also like ‘Blood’ by the Middle East. Great post though..haven’t heard this in a while.
Check out an album by Josh Garrels entitled Jacaranda…full of good tunes, multiple good sleep songs, especially tracks 1 and 2.
Also Damien Rice’s album “O” is brilliant sleep music
enjoy!

Happiness by Riceboy sleeps (Jonsi and alex) is really mellow and cool- like cucumbers… It puts me to sleep like sleeping pills.
