Put on a record. Pass out. Wake up 10 hours later with the needle gnawing the runout groove. Needle gets old before it's time. Big

Wake up 10 hours later with the needle gnawing the label. Needle is outta here. Even bigger
(personal experience)
Not a problem with automatic turntables, but with an SL12xx you can't doze off, unfortunately. I usually put on a mix, mp3s, DAT, Minidisc, whatever. Anything that I can leave unattended.
Something like:
Coleman Hawkins
Johnny Hodges
Ted HAwkins
Burning Spear
Listening to it whil high and sleepy is like being at the gates of heaven
or... better yet
I used to use an Environments "Acoustically Ultimate Seashore" (yes really) CD until I lived by the ocean for a year... And since then I have never had too many problems sleeping with or without music or waves or anything else.
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

Works like a charm for damn near 20 years now.
There is a story in the liners about when they first looped that up in an art studio and took off to get some coffee-when they came back all the student artists are all quietly weeping to themselves. The loop is from an unused piece of film-its just some old homeless dude [i think they call them tramps in england]. singing this little hymm. Damn, dudie is old, stepped on and out on the streets and talking bout jesus blood never failed him. powerful stuff.
Ha, I think most reggae records do that!
But seriously, 2 much weed + 2 much beer = strongest buzz I've ever had, and I've done most of the rest. Just not sure if the intensity is in any way enjoyable. More of a test of nerve vis-a-vis not blowing chunks.
Also, weed + making beats can make me pass out after a while. I need to sequence more, loop less.
Powerful stuff indeed. When I first got this LP I felt compelled to post about it and include an MP3. Though I have not cried while listening to this I can easily see how people could. The emotion in that tramps voice is heartbreaking. if you don't get a chill in your spine hearing this there may be something wrong with you.
quite simply one of the most amazing pieces of music these ears have ever heard
aphex - SAW2, melodies from mars
julie doiron and the wooden stars
sea and cake - the fawn
my bloody valentine - loveless
tortoise - millions now living....
boards of canada - twoism
stars of the lid
now id probably make a mix of real slow jazz shit like horace silver - nobody knows or pharoah's japan. but i havent felt compelled to sleep to music in a few years...
yes!...chopin is the lick for studying and sleeping...i got the pianist sndtrk on the ipod but that can be a little heavy sometimes...if its not classical, usually somethin instrumental. past two nights its been the lovage instrumentals and that first echo + thebunnyman album
I fall asleep listening to talkradio.
I like your style!
Love classical music and really like Rachmaninoff.
They are good sleepy-time music.
For me, it is classical Indian and Iranian music (anything with mellow sitar and santoor) and this record is pretty good, too:
