Does anyone fall asleep listening to music?

It started when I was thirteen years old. It was the holidays and my parents were throwing a party that was going to continue into the next day, or so it seemed to me. Seeing as my bedroom at the time was just off the kitchen (where all the drunk relatives sat and talked and laughed LOUDLY) going to sleep seemed near impossible. So I decided to grab my portable CD player and drown them out, hoping to fall asleep in the process. It soon became a nightly thing, and turned into an odd habit (at least to my parents.)
Ten years later, I still listen to music to put myself to sleep. I've moved on from my CD player to an Ipod though. And it does not matter what is on. I can fall asleep listening to White Zombie just as easily as I would were I listening to Beethoven. My boyfriend finds it annoying but has to deal with it anyway.
Does anyone else do this? Or am I alone?

I fall asleep to the tv. I usually have a show playing very low, just to make a little noise. We live on a busy street, and the trucks and loud motors need drowned out.

I do. I fall asleep listening to music only when I am alone or when I am very sleepy & tired. Listening to music is so relaxing.

What would life be without music?
I listen to music all day long. It helps to keep me somewhat relaxed.
I don't know if I could go to sleep without having my radio or a CD on all night. I find it soothing but I also use it to keep from hearing other noises that would keep me awake.

You're not alone!! I used to fall asleep to music on the radio every night. I don't do it too much anymore since my kids wear me out during the day. Now I just crash. Every once in a while, however, when I can't sleep I'll grab my ipod and lisen to whatevers on... doesn't matter what it is.

You are not alone! Though I do not do this, my Best friend Listens to music every night when she goes to bed. She cant sleep with out it. When I was her room mate it really irked me but we found that it was easier if she put head phoned and or Ear Buds in and This solved the problem:) So you are not alone:)

I try to do this but it just distracts me and makes it impossible to sleep! I can't help but to focus on everything the singer croons. Strange thing is, the kind of music I listen to makes all of the people I know fall asleep. I really like slow rock and reefer rock. It just makes me feel awesome. Hopefully I'll be able to fall asleep jamming one day. Probally not, though.

I like listening to music sometimes... and it is really good listening to music before sleeping to sooth my mind and sleep easily and soundly....

Every single night i fall asleep listening to Ville Valo's beautiful voice. He is the lead singer in the band HIM. Oh my goosssshhhhh... His songs Beautiful, Resurrection, and One Last Time are like the key to my heart. They put me in a trance where i have no choice but to sleep. I love it!
