Sleep Assistance From Our Readers

A while back I put up a song from my specially selected Sleep Playlist that lulls me off every night without fail (you can check it out HERE). I’ve got around 11 songs that I’ve had on every night since I can remember but I wanted the playlist to grow.
And that’s where you came in.
I can’t thank you all enough for inputting so many great recommendations in the comments section and I’ve featured some of the ones that I now love to go to sleep to.
Honestly, without you guys we would be nothing so please continue to read and share ideas on The Mahogany Blog!
David - Josh Garrels – Don’t Wait For Me – ![]()
Josh’s voice, musical composition and lyrics are absolutely stunning. He’s got a soul tinge to his soothing voice and the guitar and violins just follow perfectly behind it.

Bonobo is a downtempo legend and anything he does is worth a careful listen. Terrapin uses the sounds of beautiful Indian strings and vocal edits to create something stunning. I used to have pet Terrapins – I wouldn’t advise them to anyone!
Dmitri - The Middle East – Blood – Download from Amazon UK
The title sounds like something quite crazy but this indie-folk outfit from Australia sound as far from that as possible. Really nice song that melts the ears.

Auco - Jónsi & Alex – Boy 1904 – ![]()
Anything that includes the singer from Sigur Rós is going to be interesting and Boy 1904 is a classical track that makes you feel as if you’re on your way to heaven. It’s from the Riceboy Sleeps album that’s had amazing reviews all round.
Damani - The Dandy Warhols – Sleep – ![]()
Lots of sleepy psychedelic sounds from the Warhols. I wish I could ’sleep forever’ on a Monday morning.

Thank you everyone and please keep up with the great comments – they don’t get ignored!








Theres a truly amazing song that never fails to lull me to sleep, you should check it out, its called ‘Are You Gonna Bang Doe’
I’m diggin’ the Josh Garrels track. Electric President is appropriate fallin’ asleep. This post made me pull out a whole novelty of songs to keep me in deep sleep!
After hearing the amazing track – “Boy 1904″ by Jonsi & Alex, I had to send you one of my favorite tracks from Royksopp that fits in your “sleep playlist”. Its called “Arctic Circle” and I’ve hosted it here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/qntyzfkf5j4/05 Arctic Circle.wma
