I've stayed at a friends place many times and find the relaxing piano playlists they sleep to infuriate me and keep me awake. It's like nursery rhyme level calming 4/4 piano stuff. It's so inoffensive it offends me.

I used to sleep to music many years ago and am exploring it again in light of where I stay at the moment being rather noisy.

My son has been putting on rain/thunderstorm stuff from Youtube at night, this is better than relaxing piano.

A friend suggested a few Brian Eno albums, acceptable but not quite ideal.

My best sleeps with tunes recently has been stuff like this on loop but this will likely drive friends and children insane.

Just curious what, if anything, others sleep to.

I really like binaural music for sleeping. Other music, even classical, is too engaging for me. I found this awesome app called Medito, and while I haven't used it as intended(mediation) there is some great binaural stuff, all free. I've had insomnia issues my entire life, and I sleep so well with the binaural music, I can't recommend it enough.

If you grab the app, my favorite is Sleep -> Meditative Music -> Chris Collins -> Meditative Soundscape (binaural)
