Hmm. For sleeping music, I'd be concerned about subliminal messages playing about an hour into it. Could you imagine hearing "buy a Honda (x 100)" played after you've gone to sleep?

Actually, that might provide a pretty decent return for the advertisers.

Some people don't like hearing music at night, but I can say I certainly do on many nights. I've basically given up my music collection for online radio (pandora.com), so no "night time" playlists. You might be on to something there.

I listen to podcasts when I go to sleep. That's gotta be messing up my head.

Head over to http://shoutcast.com/ and look up "ambient" "downtempo" "breakbeat" or "chillout".

http://sky.fm/ has about 40 genre specific channels with no commercials or DJs. There's an ambient channel (part of di.fm, I think) but also slow piano, classical, trance, and all sorts of things to suit your taste.

Ambient electronic music might work. there are 47 of these streams on iTunes. If you aren't using iTunes, there are 150 streams listed under 'Ambient" on Shoutcast. I like "cryosleep."

I find that low-volume news/talk radio, like NPR or BBC makes me sleepier than music.

Try the Last.fm similar artists station for Sigur Ros?

I love Sigur Rós, but while the tempo is calm, the songs often get intensely emotional (if you watch them live, you'd think the drums guy does heavy metal in his other life.) Their music brings me peace, but it keeps me awake.

It surely fills the 'nondiscernible lyrics' part though, and lispers will appreciate they have this album titled just ()

I like to listen to Terence McKenna lectures when I want to fall asleep.

The problem with listening to a radio is that it's going to go on all night, or until it wakes you up again.

I just play a podcast or a playlist of sleep music on my iPhone in speaker mode (no headphones).

Create a Pandora station with an artist that has similar qualities.

Is Pandora like last.fm? It's US only so I can't access it.

SomaFM is a good source. Space Station Soma would put me to sleep all the time while I was playing Eve.

www.lounge-radio.com is quite nice. If you turn it down, it's decent sleep music. If you turn it up, it's awesome work music.

I've nearly stopped listening to my entire music library, using this instead.
