Er, the title pretty much explains. My wife listens to podcasts and falls asleep to them but I can’t not listen to a human voice so I listen to (ideally instrumental) music.
Anyone else? If so, what do you put on to drift away to?

Music for Airports by Brian Eno or anything by him at all really.
Saint-Saëns “Carnival of the Animals”.
Nothing. No music. No white noise (I absolutely hate white noise). Just silence
It’s true, no music is indeed music and this is a perfect answer.
I only listen to something if I’m having trouble turning off my thoughts. In those cases, I listen to the Let’s Read YouTube channel.
Same. I listen to the Sleep With Me Podcast. Something so soothing about that man’s droning voice.
I can’t with music. I put a Scholar’s Lore video on youtube and I’m sleeping within 5 minutes even when I’m not trying to fall asleep.
Great Couses are awesome too, Tools of Thinking dude has a ridiculously hypnotic voice
Usually nothing. But if I need to it’s either Dead Can Dance or Ludovico Einundi.
Rain or Thunder is very calming to fall asleep to. Though most often it’s with a TV show on. Something I’ve seen a bunch before and can nod off to, without missing anything. Just comfort noise.
Cat purring beside my head
Nothing in the general case.
If I’m having issues getting to sleep because of stress, I turn on a Mighty Jingles World of Warships video. I usually don’t make it past the intro and I’m out.
Melodic death metal 🫣
i had a phase where any type of death metal would make me sleepy. not sure why
Pink Floyd Division Bell or YouTube has some decent black screen music options. I really like black screen classical music mix, but sometimes it’s hard to find.
blue moon take 9/m by elvis presley is an insane experience listening to while teetering between sleeping and awake
Watermark by Enya
I used to listen to the Star Wars soundtrack. But nowadays I listen to small documentaries like PBS Spacetime.
I used to listen to the Conan the Barbarian sound track. The beginning is quite exciting, got me thinking heroic thoughts, then the middle section is quite quiet and I’d drift off to sleep with those heric thoughts still echoing around my head.
