I fell asleep listening to "My Bloody Valentine" last week and had a night of unsettling dreams. Great, dreamy music...but it must have been out of balance with my subconcious mind. I've often fell asleep to the great Spector's "Back to Mono".
In college, during the years 1991-1992, I listened to
Loveless
every night for oh, 5-6 months straight. Kevin Shields has specifically stated there is a hypnogoic element to his work.
I can not NOT go to bed with music.
I was listening to "Loveless", too!

Aybe Sea by Frank Zappa puts me to sleep every time. It's got such a soothing and pretty melody.

Brian Eno - Ambient 1: Music for Airports or to be more precise, the first 5-10 minutes of 1/1, as I've never gotten past that. That piano melody can do no wrong.
Others: Miles Davis' A Silent Way, Joanna Newsom's YS, Lou Reed's Berlin, Bob Dylan's John Wesley Harding, Neil Young's After The Gold Rush, Beck's Sea Change, the second side of "Heroes", King Crimson's Islands (the song), The Moody Blues' 'Days of Future Passed'.

I agree with Banana. Enya would be great for that or the LP " Friends " or just buy a good quality recording of the ocean with the sound of the waves coming in to the shore............ you WILL snore for shore.

Tapestry by Carole King is a great album to fall asleep to.

Lately I've been going to sleep with Aaron Copland's Our Town Suite. Very hushed, meditative and RELAXING! Also, his Quiet City is nice to nod off to!!!

I can't listen to music and go to sleep. I'll never go to sleep! I can't listen to anything, even the radio. It'll keep me up all night. I always pick up on the melody, or the beat of the song and hum along or whatever. Even if I've never heard it, or don't like the song.
I also can't sleep in complete silence. What I do, every night, is turn on the television in my bedroom, and play.... INFOMERCIALS! It's the only thing I've found that's boring enough that I can ignore it, but has enough ambient noise that I don't get annoyed by the silence.
I turn it down to where I can just barely hear it.
I can't put it on a movie or a television show either, because I'll get interested in it and want to see how it ends, lol.
Excellent post, Ron! Doubt about infomercials (coz I'm allergic to them & don't watch TV anyway), but it's still quite an idea. In addition to the underlined bit, you can set the sleep time of your TV by clicking on remote's Menu --> Timer. Even old models have this function - f.ex., my "Vestel" (early 2000s). So you needn't wake up in the middle & switch it off yourself, very convenient. Just giving some sort of advice here (though maybe you already know this stuff).
Henry Gross' "Shannon" works amazingly as the lullaby. Also "Hammond Song" by The Roches, it's got that tranquil effect.

Oh, you...
While I've never actually tried it, the soundtrack to the film "Children of A Lesser God" by Michael Convertini is incredibly soothing, and would be very nice to fall asleep to. A wonderful combination of strings, keyboards and synth. The only bummer would be "Boomerang", (a horrid 80's pop song that sounds like it was made by a goofy dad trying to look cool in front of his daughter) but we don't have to talk about that...
A very relaxing album overall.

Oh perfect, I love this kind of music. I usually never fall asleep to music, but living in the city... sometimes it helps to block out all the frat partying next door or the ambulances with something that actually sounds nice.
I've listened to
Wincing the Night Away
many times before while falling asleep.
On a really noisy night I put on
Fear Fun
by FJM, which worked amazingly.
But I'm all down for suggestions, either for any future noisy nights or just some relaxing music playlists. I'm a sucker for listening to full albums while falling asleep, though. Even though you just end up listening to the A side... haha.

Lou Reed's Berlin,
I used to have that on while falling asleep and I'd inevitably wake up into some not-quite-conscious-not-quite-unconscious state at "The Kids." This was unpleasant.
Similarly, back in the late '90s and early '00s I used to listen to Radiohead's
OK Computer
while falling asleep and I'd just start dozing when the latter part of "Paranoid Android--maybe 8 minutes into the album? but before the hard guitars at the very end--would come on. When you're nearly asleep, that is very creepy. Very creepy.

Side 1 of "Strange Days" by The Doors, low volume.
"Love Me Two Times" might wake you up a little, but "Moonlight Drive"... ahh.

I think I've listened to Strange Days once. I'm not super familiar with them. My friend loves the Doors, though.

Listening now. I dig it. Very chill music. I'm enjoying 70's tunes lately.

I never used to fall asleep to music, but my fiance likes putting the light classical station on the TV, so I've gotten used to falling asleep to that.

for the past few nights I've been falling asleep to Sufjan Stevens. Futile Devices is a perfect way to lull yourself to sleep.

My ex-gf made a tape to fall asleep to, one side Paul McCartney, the other side John Lennon. The Paul side had Back Seat of My Car, Some People Never Know, So Bad, No More Lonely Nights, Junk; the John side had Old Dirt Road, Bless You, Out the Blue, Jealous Guy, Oh My Love. I can't remember all the songs, but it was great music to doze off to.
