Music to sleep to....zzzzzzz

Been having a nightmare getting my kids to go to sleep lately, they go to bed at a decent hour, but find it hard tio settle. Ok they are in their early teens but it's still me that has to kick thier backsides out of bed in the morning when they are too tired for school.

However recently they love falling asleep to a bit of Enya, so i stick the full album on for them to fall asleep to.



There are tons of relaxing videos on Youtube, do you have a favourite technique or piece of music? Or maybe another way of getting the kids to sleep that doesn't involve alcohol.

I have a couple suggestions.

Enigma

Phil Collins (any and/or all)

Listen to either of these very quietly:

Beck

Not all of Beck's wide variety of sounds would be good for sleeping, but his slower/mellow acoustic albums are.

The entire albums of 'Mutations' & 'Sea Change', are relaxing.

Yeah. Debussy.



Or this lady. She has a way............



I think it's her voice. Grace P. doing Grace S.

What a cool thread idea! I have insomnia from time to time, so will definitely try these out the next time it happens.

Blast from the Past!

I love from about 7:40 on!
enjoy your zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Forget the music try this, it's bound to put you to sleep...



Couldn't resist

Thanks everyone, so many good vids there.

I daren't watch them all at the moment, i'm cooking a roast dinner for the girls and i'll probably doze off lol.

I had a great relaxation tape once, narrated by a guy with a really deep voice, one of these "Imagine yourself lying on a beach" kind of things. I think it was called "Ultimate relaxation" or something....anyway that always used to get me off to sleep.

Will have a look around for it.

Thanks again for all the replies, i'll turn my kids into sloths!!!
