Yep, lately it's been Max Richter 's album Sleep.
Supplemented with eye mask, melatonin, and an attempt to keep bedtime and wake up hours very consistent. When I can't sleep, sometimes the last resort is to go sleep somewhere else, like the living room couch or the guest bedroom. For some reason, that can break me out of the rut and fall asleep.
Thanks for this; I can't say that I wasn't just particularly exhausted last night but I put this on and conked out pretty quickly.
I used to be able to listen to just about any music, when falling asleep, but my anxiety's reached a point that even playing the sound of waves is too much commotion and ramps up my adrenaline.
This was calm and unobtrusive enough that it really was just background noise and my brain didn't keep getting its attention yanked away from drifting off.
Awesome. I'm glad it was a fit for you and best wishes on more improvements to your sleep.
Apparently, Richter consulted with a neuroscientist specializing in sleep on it. And Richter has a sequel, Sleep Circle, which I haven't checked out yet but have seen positive recommendations a few times online.
