Oh yeah, some Flying Saucer Attack is nice to fall asleep to.

SomaFM - Drone Zone and Stillstream Internet radio stations are pretty good. I keep my phone next to my bed with those playing at low volumes most nights and they work well.

I love Drone Zone and that type of stuff for reading at night, but DZ never fails to wake me up with some tense sounding shit when I fall asleep to it.

Some good suggestions here to check out. Any who aren't bothered by sad sounding stuff; The Dead Texan is an all-time classic sleep album.

I set a 2hr timer. Generally I'll never hear the music stop but I have encountered some jarring changes in sound before on DZ and Stillstream. I was going to suggest Space Station Soma because I love hearing ambient music with the sounds of astronauts talking but it's not the best for sleeping.

big audio dynamite ii's 'kool-aid' ep is basically a sleeping tablet

Brian Eno's Bloom, Trope, and Scape apps are my go-to sources for going-to-sleep music lately.

I went through a stage a couple weeks ago listening to Henry Mancini's The Versatile Henry Mancini every night. Quite Dreamy.

I used to listen to the second disc of Miles Davis's Pangaea to fall asleep years ago. I would think Sunn O))) at low volume would work, too, but have never actually tried that. These days, I have a noise machine in my bedroom that I have set to play traffic sounds. Amazingly relaxing.

On the iPhone, at least, you can set it to do exactly that. Not sure about on the iPad.
