    Alright, so obviously not technically lullabies, but any music that you love, or maybe even not love ( but preferably loved music) that causes intense relaxation to the point of possibly letting you fall asleep while it's playing in your ears.

    Like, either you intentionally use this music which is most likely obviously not to help you sleep, but it helps you sleep anyway, or you have such a deep emotional connection with the music that it puts you in such a state of relaxation.

    I'm this way with Tool (unsurprisingly to you all, I'm sure). It's quite funny, since Tool is rather ... heavy xD

    Funny thing is I can also fall asleep to tons of other metal bands, like Between the Buried and Me and stuff that is way heavier with screaming vocals. xD

    Or even this.

    Ok, I'll take the bait.

    I've used Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds "Loom of the Land" to fall asleep to. The lyrics even say at some point "now go to sleep". The song is beautiful and very peaceful. You can find it on the amazing album «Henry's Dream».

    Another favourite is Björk's "Amphibian", a song she did for the «Being John Malkovich» soundtrack. The song last forever and it so ethereal and feels like breeze on your face in the summer. Sorry, i can't explain better :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
    Björk's first album she did in 1977 at the tender age of 11, also puts me to sleep. Especially 'Óliver'.
    Oh and "Come to Me" and "Hyperballad" also good candidates!

    I once feel asleep listening to Placebo song, i think it was "Peeping Tom"- this has a hidden track 16 minutes into the track.. I feel asleep during the silent time, and woke up scared to death with the hidden track "Black market Blood".

    I'm a little obsessed with Lykke Li these days, everything she does is so mellow and pretty and soothing. I love it.

    Asleep by The Smiths is an obvious one.

    Very very little music lulls me to sleep, but one exception is all but about 20 seconds of 'the dark side of the moon' by pink floyd (the beginning of the song Time is just too damn loud to sleep through)
