Er, the title pretty much explains. My wife listens to podcasts and falls asleep to them but I can’t not listen to a human voice so I listen to (ideally instrumental) music.
Anyone else? If so, what do you put on to drift away to?

Music for Airports by Brian Eno or anything by him at all really.
I only listen to something if I’m having trouble turning off my thoughts. In those cases, I listen to the Let’s Read YouTube channel.
Same. I listen to the Sleep With Me Podcast. Something so soothing about that man’s droning voice.
Usually nothing. But if I need to it’s either Dead Can Dance or Ludovico Einundi.
I can’t with music. I put a Scholar’s Lore video on youtube and I’m sleeping within 5 minutes even when I’m not trying to fall asleep.
Great Couses are awesome too, Tools of Thinking dude has a ridiculously hypnotic voice
Saint-Saëns “Carnival of the Animals”.
I listen to this on loop for 12 hours. every day for the last 270 years.
Believe it or not the Goldberg variations works for me.
Nothing, or a YouTube video that’s mildly entertaining but not too much so I don’t regret missing the end by falling asleep. LTT for instance.
Rainfall, thunderstorms, rivers. That kind of thing!
Some kind of ambient instrumental. Or nature sounds. Nothing with lyrics or I won’t be able to concentrate on sleeping lol.
Melodic death metal 🫣
i had a phase where any type of death metal would make me sleepy. not sure why
Nothing in the general case.
If I’m having issues getting to sleep because of stress, I turn on a Mighty Jingles World of Warships video. I usually don’t make it past the intro and I’m out.
blue moon take 9/m by elvis presley is an insane experience listening to while teetering between sleeping and awake
Watermark by Enya
Pink Floyd Division Bell or YouTube has some decent black screen music options. I really like black screen classical music mix, but sometimes it’s hard to find.
