That Yatha Sidrah album is fantastic.
I've nodded off listening to Ozric Tentacles before now. And Tangerine Dream. And Mike Oldfield. And Von Zamla, once. Mind you, I was very tired that day.

Eno's ambient albums come to mind.

I enjoy Sigur Ros especially, as well as Porcupine Tree (slightly older stuff), Pink Floyd, and The Flaming Lips.
Recently, however, I have adopted a new routine. Every night or every other night, before bed, I listen to one classic prog album, which, at around 40 minutes, are slightly easier to diggest than today's 80 minute opuses. However, I advise you to NOT listen to King Crimson prior to sleep, as nightmares are almost sure to ensue

I'll concur that Ozric, Eno, and Tangerine Dream will likely increase
your chances of some wonderful ones! (dreams, that is). With Ozric, be
aware that they can be fairly high energy, so if that will prevent you
from nodding off, maybe a mix CD with the more ambient material is in
order.
I once had some pretty incredible dreams while Tangram - Tangerine Dream was playing.

everything by Harold Budd, Robert Rich, Steve Roach for the most accessible and less interesting part of ambient. For a more "visceral" dream-scape ambient excursion go on Beneath the Lake, The halfer trio, Biosphere...otherwise, in a more progressive electronic way try the meditative and linear "Zeit" by Tangerine Dream or "Last Wave" by Bernard Xolotl.

Wandering from the "ambient" and "prog" label, I always found The Cocteau Twins can put me in a trance.

Brian Eno's ambient albums (as Peter already suggested) are good for that purpose, and Labradford's Mi Media Naranja seems to work for me as well.

Jean-Michel Jarre - Waiting For Cousteau. The title track is a 46 minute ambient relaxing journey.

If you want good ambient music check out Sigur Ros. If you want to have the best nights sleep of you life, play Explosions In The Sky

I will offer a third recommendation re Brian Eno's Ambient series, particular #1 (Music for Airports) and #2 (Plateaux of Mirror). Oddly, these are also great "background music" albums for low-key dinner parties and other mellow get-togethers.
Peace.

Fodt Til A Herske is an excellent ambient neo-classical album from ex- Emperor's bassist.

Engineers, Bethany Curve, Mercury Rev, Yo La Tengo (Lets be still is a
great one), Bowery Electric, Mazzy Starr, Jarre (oxygen), David
Gilmour, etc.... not sure that any of this, except for Jarre, could be
considered ambient, but I need to music to sleep by and I use all of
the above. Not because its boring, but because it helps me
develop positive dreams.
