Songs Which Help You Fall Asleep

Generally, songs which have a very slow tempo and soft volume help induce sleep. Over the past few years, I have found the following to be the best at putting me to sleep:

• Intro – The xx                                                                                                            

Probably one of the best new band of 2009, their genre is labelled ‘Dream Pop’. An apt name, as their songs have a trance-like quality, bound to put you snoozing.

• Twenty Four – Switchfoot                                                                                            

A more religious choice, ‘Twenty Four’ is an acoustic song with vocals and lyrics which will lullaby you to a sound sleep.

• Journey of a Narcoleptic – Dan Mangan                                                                      

This melancholic tune instills tranquility, and the guitar riff is as soulful as Mangan’s voice.

• Days Even Years – Dan Arborise                                                                                 

Though fairly unknown, Dan Arborise’s ‘Of Tide and Trail’ has heartfelt lyrics and poignant melodies. His guitar skills are also fairly awesome.
