it depends, some parts are rather dark and ambient (the instrumentals) but you have to pass some tracks..."music for films" is a better choice

Brian Eno - Thursday Afternoon, over 60 minutes continuous drone as only Eno can  I once had a party and it became so late many couldn't leave, so they stayed in the livingroom, put the cd on and they all fell asleep to it, next day many asked what I had put on the night before and wanted a copy.

"The Sheltering Sky" by King Crimson. It's one of the samples on the site so check it out if you haven't heard it already.

SIGUR ROS ()
Certainly sent me to sleep when I heard it! 
(And still does, even after the tenth time of listening.)

Me too, but I still love the album As far as GSY!BE, I don't really want to try to fall asleep to that, because while it starts off relaxed, it slowly builds into an insane crescendo that might wake me up. Then again, I sleep through the drums of Untitled 8....

Totally agree, specially MUSIC FOR AIRPORTS... it's very hard to find something more ambient like this one....

problem is- i fall asleep to practically ANYTHING so long as i love it. And I always fall asleep to a cd each night- last night it was Pink Floyds Animals- so there you go.
But, for a real recommendation- try Porcupine Tree's Gravity Eyelids or Mellotron Scratch- soooo lovely. Yes i know there's a bridge in both songs where the elec guitars rev up and play their hearts out but by then you should be dreaming my pretties...dreeeeeeaming...  |

I agree with Philip Glass and Vangelis, both are great for chilling. I particularly like 1492 and Bladerunner by Vangelis for this purpose. But almost anything by him will work. By Glass I particularly like Passages (with Ravi Shankar) and Mishima. I'd probably stay away from Glass' early stuff which was VERY minimal, like "Music with Changing Parts". I can imagine that messing with your brain while you sleep.

Global Communication's "76 14" is wonderful, in the mold of the Eno ambient style.
I resolutely cannot sleep on planes, but it helped me stay sane on a flight from Delhi to London.
Oh and Future Sound of London - Lifeforms. Even containss samples of the Ozrics and Fripp.
And another one - Steve Reich - Music for 18 Musicians.

It's exactly what I am at the moment listen to late in the night, especially track 1, 2 and the last one. Great music.
Another good album: Klaus Schulze, Mirage or
Elton Dean & Mark Hewis, Bar Torque

Philip Glass...well, sorry guys, I see exactly him as the less talented minimal / piano based composer of his generation...I've studied his work for piano, a real boring sh*t. His texts for orchestra are as dull as the rest. He only made 2 or 3 interesting pieces for the Kronos Quartet but that's all, he always has the same song in head.
