All good stuff thanks folks. It'll take me awhile to try it all out but the options are getting much deeper which is good.
Robert Miles Dreamland album is one I forgot all about and remembered while going thru the suggestions. Probably going to give it a go tonight for sleep but it is such a good album it may keep me awake focusing on it which is a problem I run into. If I really really enjoy the music I focus on it and it keeps me up.

I used to play that at bed time, on repeat at low volume. That made a hyper active autistic kid lay right down, close his eyes and fall asleep in 4 minutes. Worked on me, too.

I used to use Nat King Cole, on ever so softly.

I have never slept well. Recently I have been listening to documentaries or interviews on my iPad through youtube. I've been following some outdoors people mostly climbing and hiking or docs on military stuff. Lots of WWII stuff on different planes, tanks, and other equipment.

No vocals but I sleep to "3rd force" new age jazz on Spotify.

I have the same problem. That is why I use binaural beats with out music. I like all kinds of music and I can't use it for sleep because I listen to the music, chord structure/progression, melody, intervals, etc. I can't sleep with all of that going on in my brain.
Wishing you a restful eve,

This is something of a broad spectrum of music, but given what you said you were interested in, I thought these might fit the bill. The listing are by Group - Album - Song Title.
The musical genres you might want to search for: Trance, Ambient, Dream Pop, Darkwave, World (Music), Electronic, Electronic Dance Music, Goth.
Since you mentioned Classical, I threw the Tallis Scholars in. It's Religious Choral Music, all a cappella. They have an extensive catalog, going back to the 1970's.
And if you like Mazzy Star (I love it, and Hope Sandoval's voice in general), the girl who did the songs for True Detective season 2 is real similar (Lera Lynn), and the Jesus and Mary Chain + Hope Sandoval duet track entitled Sometimes Always is pretty great, too.

Try Tibetan singing bowl music Specifically "33 Bowls" Found it on Amazon Between Tibetan singing bowls and binaural beats, you should find some good zzzzzzzzz

Robert Miles Dreamland has been doing great this week. Falling asleep very quickly and staying there until the 4 y/o comes and wakes me up. Put him back down and fall asleep quickly again. Going to keep all the suggestions from this thread if it wears off.
Not sure why but have been having very vivid and pleasant dreams (no, not those kind) since falling asleep to the tunes instead of the TV.

Not the genre you mention in your OP, but I've been listening to Norah Jones lately while trying to relax and get back pain off my mind.

Good lord wth?! Love this album but never tried to sleep to it. Might have to try it.
If you are playing music to sleep - try Sade Love Deluxe or Mazzy Star "So Tonight That I Might See" - I should probably go dig them up now as I can't sleep.

Robert Miles is stacking up some cash from Amazon! Still listening to it to fall asleep and it is awesome. I have not slept this well in a very long time. I am not positive it is that I am sleeeping better as the TV is not constantly flashing light at me all night or Robert Miles Dreamland is the perfect name for the album. Certainly sleeeping way better and a deeper sleep having some very vivid dreams.

Black92LX, Glad you found something that works for you.
I just thought of the following, in case you want some diversity.
These are from a sampler/compilation album put out by the record label 4AD. The entire playlist for the album is at the bottom.
I haven't thought of Robert Miles in ages. Children was pretty yuge back when new.

I hadn't either until I started this thread. Not even sure why it popped into my head it had been so long since hearing it.
I kind of thought it would wear off helping sleep but so far it hasn't. If it does this thread also has some great suggestions so I'll be good for awhile.
