Listening to music to get to sleep

[colourofstef]

I was wondering what are people opinions on listening to music through headphones to get to sleep? I've been doing this for about 4/5 years now, and my mom's just started to kick up a fuss about it..!

So yeah, anyone know of any harmful effects of doing this? Thanks.

If you do it for over 4 years your body fucks up and you start shitting out of your ears and listening through your ass.

I listen to my cd player every night. I read somewhere that it helps make you smarter or something because your brain is sill active while you rest. Or i may just be pulling that out of my ass one of the two.

[spansen]

i used to fall asleep to music.. and then i went to australia for 3 weeks, and didn't listen to music to fall asleep.. and i can't fall asleep to music anymore.

Goodbye Sky Harbor is a great song to pass out to.

[Pinky*Swear]

I have to listen to music, but if the cd is too long or has a hidden track, I'll wake up again which is sucky.


Sticks & Stones used to scare shit outta me with it's hidden track.

[SonEric84]

Sometimes I listen to music when I go to sleep and sometimes I don't.

[Mark is God]

I do.

Every Time I Die and The Bled.

[Hilikus]

I dont usually.

When i went to italy though i slept to music in the bus all the time purely by accident. I must have been really tired to fall asleep to Blood Brothers.

It's direct speakers into your ears. It fucks them up. I do it occasionarly but not every night it'll screw up your hearing.

[BrandNewCircuit]

When I can't sleep I put on The Smiths' "Asleep" and Cursive's "Staying Alive." I don't know, something about that combination works wonders.

Anything with a piano usually puts me to sleep. The Rocket Summer usually gets me out quick for some reason. As for side effects. I can't say that I have heard or can think of any reasons why not to.

:D i've had that before...or with quiet songs that go loud.

certainly makes you jump! haha



mae - destination:beautiful/the everglow
sigur ros - ( )

these cds are very often my weapons of choice.

I think i had mild insomnia a few years back, it's why i started listening to music to go to sleep.

if you didn't like my awesome compilation, i'd comment on the sarcasm.

but you do, so i wont! haha

[try_pie]

if you listen to music the whole night it can really screw up your ears

[my zippers down]

if u cant fall asleep without music then personally i think your a pussy

[colourofstef]

if you listen to music the whole night it can really screw up your ears
its not the whole night, i have my hifi on a sleep timer for like an hour

if u cant fall asleep without music then personally i think your a pussy love you too :love:

[SingleDoubt]

i fell asleep listening to coldplay's x&y which i just got from the itunes music store. very soothing

[ArTkY_]

Straylight Run, Coldplay and Mae.

[notetoxself]

I used to listen to JamisonParker or The Ataris to help me fall a sleep and I sometimes occaisially do.

[are fkng dead]

I never do, and I slept over at my cousin's house, and he plays in a hardcore band, so naturally we had to listen to As I Lay Dying on repeat all night.

Suprisingly, it was a good sleep.

[shermanology]

I usually throw on my huge miles davis collection (miles davis played "jazz" if you dont know). But sigur ros works very well. But sometimes it just whatever I am listening to. The senses fail ep works.

also on a side note, in middle school I would listen to top 40 radio, and that put me out in 5 minutes.

[blinkdude127]

i listen to loveline when i fall asleep, did anyone see adam carolla's new show?

[cuetheflames]

i sleep to the postal service really good. sometimes i play it on a boombox and fall asleep on the roof. good times... good times.

Before I got a job and had no money, I would listen to my cd player/iPod with headphones. My mother thought I could possibly strangle myself to death while in my sleep, but I had doubts about that. I bought a subwoofer that I love recently for $30 at Best Buy.

[TJ Wells]

why does she have a problem w/ it?

[odnetnin]

Because I would listen to my cd player/iPod with headphones. My mother thought I could possibly strangle myself to death while in my sleep.
Not that-that matters anymore. I use my subwoofer now.

[OveriseFan]

It could make you go deaf I've been told.

Makes sense but I'm not 100% on that.

[shermanology]

i think the only way it could mess with your hearing is if you listen through headphones. I use my stereo, so its all good.

Good stuff to fall asleep to.

JEW is great to fall asleep to

[FOBPrettyNPunk]

Dashboard Confessional and John Mayer have helped me fall asleep, their acoustic stuff is very calm

I once fell asleep listening to Relient K's Two Lefts.. cd and got freaked out cause the last song has crazy rapping at the end

[when 4ever ends]

i just put the ipod on shuffle and go to sleep

[mylustforblood]

i just put the ipod on shuffle and go to sleepsame here and my parents have a problem with it even when i use these small crapy speakers that can get drowned out by my dad's snoring

[charlielikeYAY]

i listen to loveline when i fall asleep, did anyone see adam carolla's new show?
Ahh I miss Loveline. For some reason about a year ago the station that played it went out, and ever since it came back they don't put Loveline on any more. I used to listen to that all the time. I had no idea Adam Carolla had a new show. . .what is it?

[uh oh smmoreo]

You wake up more rested if you don't listen to music.

And if possible, you should use a stereo.

[colourofstef]

ive started using a stereo now, its better!

god bless the sleep timer

[Nick Lopez]

i do this every night. i use the same cd a few nights in a row. im using hipv now. it really helps alot
that explains it.

[Nick Lopez]

Music is the devil, and your soul is most vulnerable when you're sleeping.
hahaha

Well, since I'm a big chicken and I'm afraid of the dark, I usually fall asleep with the TV on.

[wyverna]

Anything by Death Cab For Cutie, I find helps me sleep.
