thankz for response ^_^ yeah, i will start 2 singing it till ends if i keep it on...so, better dont ^_^ [cottonm]
i used to it, until i got my pants scolded off me :) but its gr8 it can actually give u a very sound sleep hehe happy myLotting [VenomSingh]
just like what my friend told me, he can hav a good sleep with music, but i think he just simply can't live without music, his slogan is : no music, no life...hahhaha [cottonm]
Dear friend, Sometime I turn on the music while sleeping and that too with low sound and I love listening to music while sleeping too only thing is I may forget to turn off after I get asleep but still I love to hear that music in low sound and sleep.happy [SHAMRACK]
soft music is good ^_^ i might consider that [cottonm]
I dun turn on them because I know I will fall asleep and the song kept on playing until morning without nobody listening them.. Hehe, for me, it's a waste.. XD [leen_zhihai]
true oso, waste of electricity [cottonm]
I used to listen to the radio all the time when I was younger, but I dont listen to it now. When I go to bed at night it has to be all quiet no light no noise. i have alot of trouble sleeping and the less stimulation I have the better it is. I'm afraid the radio would not lull me to sleep but keep me awake wanting to listen. [snowy22315]
I dont have anything playing or on when im asleep. I cant sleep with any noise or light at all. [darkjedi]
ya, will ask her to change her clock 2 digital ^_^ [cottonm]
i'd mostly leave a cd playing continously when sleeping, mostly atmospheric rock or trip hop. i rarely listen to the radio when falling asleep, djs have this tendency to talk a lot and stop you from sleeping. i like how the songs interact with my dreams especially near waking. [failsafe_o5]
that's good for ya...happy listening 2 music ^_^ [cottonm]
i used to have the music on when i fall asleep. however, i stopped after moving home a i share my parents' bedroom. now that i've gotten used to it, i can't sleep if there is music playing. it's kind of strange but i guess i'm used to falling asleep when it's utterly quiet. wonder if i will start listening to music while waiting to fall asleep? cheers ;p [applefreak]
ok....i use to do this when i ws doing my exams, after i had finised revising i would turn the music on for extra revision..mainly rock...... then i played classical music to clear my head .....i find it better to have a clear mind befoure you sleep....it prevents nightmares..... [cyreon]
I used to, when I lived with my parents. Whenever I wanted to sleep, no matter what time of the day it was, I turned on the music to drown out obnoxious sounds, like the tv, or people talking, or even other music. Now that I live out on my own, I have a fan that does the work. [Tiherina]
hahaha, u r funny, as well as the 'fan' which make the sound, why dun u change it? [cottonm]
I usually put a Cd on before i go to sleep, i sometimes find it difficult to sleep at night and the music helps, especially if it's chilled out music, or an album that i really love, i know that by the time all the tracks have finished i'll be sound asleep! I live quite close to a railway line and the trains ca nbe noisy so the music helps to drown that noise out though!! xx [Munchkin547]
oh ya, in that case, music do helps ^_^ those trains' noise r annoying, i will definitely turn on the music like u did ^_^ [cottonm]
When I go to bed every night I put my Walkman, on while I am in the bed and listen to it until I fall asleep. [notlistening2]
i used 2 do that too, but one thing i dun like abt the walkman is, after a while, the earphone make me feel uncomfortable ^_^ [cottonm]
I enjoy music, too, cottonm, but like you, I cannot abide music when I am trying to sleep. My mind simply won't relax. [Transdisc]
yeah, mind cannot relax coz will singing with my favorite music ^_^ however, if sleep in car r train, for a long distance journey, music will definitely help 2 sleep ^_^ [cottonm]
I have the habit of hearing music before sleeping. [Raja_Franklin]
Hi. I used to listen to the radio and drift off to sleep with the music. I dont do this so much nowadays although as i listen before i try to sleep, sometimes it gets left on accidently. It then might wake me up with a start during the night when it changes to LAUD MUSIC! Our hearing is always partially active asleep in case of danger i understand. [islander7]
yes, it will b scary when it suddenly turn on LOUD...hhahaha, better dun turn it on ^_^ [cottonm]
I used to have this one song, that was about 10 minutes long and really soft, that I would put on repeat and fall asleep during. I couldn't fall asleep to anything else. Not I don't listen to music though. I can still sleep if music is on, I just don't really bother with it any more. [TheHawkBat]
I can't turn the music on while sleeping, because I'm... well... sleeping! lol Now, to be serious, I can't go to sleep if there's too much noise around, music included. The cars passing by on the street is enough background sound. Sometimes I don't even stand some clocks that tick too loud. [stvasile]
u r surely very alike my best friend in melbourne, who i mentioned earlier that she take out the batteries of my clock coz she felt it is annoying and disturbing...hahahah [cottonm]
No, because I won't go to sleep until I've listened to all the music too! If I want to guarantee that I won't sleep while I'm in bed, all I need to do is put on some music - even if it is 'relaxing' music! [zigzagbuddha]
I like to start out listening to music and it finally puts me to sleep. However, the very thing which puts me to sleep eventually wakes me up. That's when I turn it off. I know, I'm a little strange. What really puts me to sleep is a football or baseball game (especially baseball). It's the white noise of the crowd that does it. [singout]
hahaha, u r not strang. there is one time, i used 2 turn on TV so that i can sleep, i think that time, i'm lack of the feeling of security, must hav some sounds & noise to assure me, there is 'someone' around me ^_^ [cottonm]
I never turn on music while sleeping. While sleeping, total silence is required. I like to sleep when everything is silent. Even the slightest disturbance will wake me up. Sometimes, a little bit of music might make one go to sleep, but those are only a few cases. Many people listen to music while sleeping only because they cannot go to sleep. [kangallo]
ya, it's true...i dun mean i need completely silence when i sleep, coz even if i didn't turn on the music, still hav some 'cute' little sound come from my dog, hahhaha, which is her snoring, but this one i get used to it, it's quite comfortable 2 hear it, becoz i knew she is there 2 accompany me ^_^ [cottonm]
I have to have it very quiet when I am sleeping, the only sound I like when I am sleeping is the sound of rain. [Chevee]
yeah, the sound of rain is very comfortable, and i will hav a sound sleep dunno why ^_^ [cottonm]
I personally don't, but this is also because I don't like any electronic equipment being on when I'm asleep. So I never actually tried it before. Sometimes my boyfriend stays up later then I but when the sound of his PC is on or he is listening to his music I can't sleep. Perhaps if it was a cd with calming sounds or classical music, that really suits me. However, I have seen it can do wonders for jumpy toddlers and babies when you put on a cd with ocean sounds, forest sounds or classical music when they need to go to sleep. We do this in the child daycare where I work and the children get at ease much faster and there is less need of correcting children or taking them out of bed again because they can't sleep. The whole bedroom was zen and the children slept longer and more intense; they were better rested. [cyberfluf]
I'm glad I could be of help happy. It has helped with tons of small children so it might just do the trick this time as well, please let me know how it goes! There are also special classical cd's for babies with light music. [cyberfluf]
I have tried to turn on just very relaxing comfortable breeze and nature sound of music without anyone singing. It actually helps me to sleep and makes me more relax. I could not turn on music who has vocal /people singing or rock bands type and sleep. I find it quite disturbing. [currykai]
I do not turn anything on while I am sleeping. I do turn on music when I am awake. [whiteheather39]
i am also like your friend.. i love to listen to music whenever i go.. even while sleeping.. Like her, i also listen the classical and instrumental ones especially on piano and violin.. yes, its very relaxing.. while listening to classical, i can really sleep fast.. [fuuyuki756]
yeah, i like 2 listen to those violin musical too, but still not while i'm sleeping ^_^ [cottonm]
NO WAY, cotton! I will never get to sleep if I do. Just had a fight with my neighbor who was playing with his dog at midnight. The dog was barking and the neighbor was shouting and I was not able to sleep a wink. I am a light sleeper. So I went and had a good fight, getting them both to shut up. I love music, but not when I am trying to sleep. I use it to keep me awake. LOL Cheers and happy mylotting [positiveminded1977]
i m a dog owner too, luckily my dog is those silent type, won't bark much, i will also feel annoying if she barks too much ^_^ [cottonm]
Hi! I would love to turn on the music while sleeping for the night but I don't want to pay extra for extra electricity charge. But when I get some afternoon naps, I usually turn on the music. I turn the radio and switch to a Jazz station. It's really a cool type of music and soothing to the ears. It feels good to fall asleep while listening to Jazz. What's better is when I wake up and hearing Jazz still playing. It gives a really energizing and soothing feeling when I wake up after sleeping with music. Even though I'm sleeping, I think I am unconsciously listening to the music. It even feels a lot better than a good night's sleep. lol [EnslinPorter]
hahhaha, unconciously listening to the music? quite amazing, happy listening 2 Jazz Music ^_^ [cottonm]
Either way. I can sleep with or without music. But the music should be mellow or like a love song so I can fell asleep. [quawertz]
I don't turn on music when I go to bed and I will not do it. I don't like any music and I even don't listen to music in the day time. When the music is on I can't fall asleep easily. I listen to english programs every day before I go to bed and I will be sleepy soon. [lixiaos77]
I always listen to music before I go to sleep and most of the time, I fall asleep while the music is still playing. Sometimes, I'd wake up in the morning only to realize my iPod's battery has gone dead.rasp Other times, I wake up in ungodly hours to turn the music off. I just have to have the music playing when I'm getting ready for bed and when I'm actually willing myself to sleep.happy [crazyoverpurple]
Ummmm....Cotton? How am I going to turn on the radio while I'm sleeping? After all, I am asleep.lolrasp Anyway, I have a cd that I play to help me fall asleep. It has light music with harp and a little flute, a few birds singing, some waves. I really does help me. [bluerubymoon53]
ya, correct, thankz for highlight me, my topic shud b :"will u leave your music on while u r sleeping" ^_^, oh, that must b a cool CD, i like harp, but hard 2 find this kind of Cd in malaysia...as i say i won't leave the music on coz i will listen until they stops then i will fall asleep, but those music i mean is with someone singging, sometimes music like natural sounds or instrumental will help me fall asleep too ^_^ [cottonm]
I dont coz after I wake up my ear rings..hehe I dont hear them in my dreams hehe I hope that theres a sleeping option in my mp4 player... but seriously we must abuse our ears especially using headphones or earphones because even a small decibel can ruin our eardrums and can lead to serious problems so while listening to our music we must let our ears take a rest for about 10-15 mins and not as long as 2 hours... [alecz23]
ya, i hate earphone, i will hav a little speaker for my MP3 or IPOD ^_^ [cottonm]
there is noone that loves music any morethan i do but i want peace & quiet when i go to bed. i have recently had to start sleeping w/oxygen, like to never got use to that noise. [ANTIQUELADY]
If I turn on music, it will be very hard for me to sleep anyway! However, I have turned the radion on while sleeping. U know what? I find that some broadcasts are so boring that I feel sleepy to listen to it. Thus, it would be a good lullaby for me. [hiddenwing]
hahhahah, next time if i can't sleep, i will try on your method...it's true also, sometimes when i can't sleep, i turn on the TV, then those boring TV programs will make me fall asleep easily, but after a while, i hav 2 wake up to turn them off...hahah [cottonm]
happy I do at times. Especially if I have a really hard time sleeping. I have special "sleep mode" playlist in my Ipod so I can listen to it whenever sleep forgets to sprinkle dust on me. It's pretty effective since the songs I choose are more on the instrumental side. So there's no way that I'd pay attention to lyrics. [rosedust82]
instrumental music like Kenny G, sometimes i enjoy it too much, i will also listen them till end then go 2 sleep, hahhahah, i love them too much... [cottonm]
I love music. I prefer to turn on my radio while sleeping, I feel very relax and peace. But... the electricity cost is very expensive in Indonesia. So... I choose to turn off the music. And I think better to save the energy too. [AidiaPropitious]
I don't normally do so unless I have some troubles falling asleep. I'll then turn on the sleep function on my mp3 player and plug. Most of the time, I'll fall asleep before the mp3 does. [Skylinr]
i have the same problem,too. but i feel like turning them on while having a nap or doing my own stuff in my dorm...you know, that makes me feel relax and it can call me back to my own business while the others are making noise... oh god bless me ... never ever make a connecting error!!! [hal8711]
ya, hav 2 turn the music on while working, can't work without them ^_^ [cottonm]
I will not. I will be sleeping then, so unless I sleepwalk, turn on the computer, and find the player, and turn on the speakers, I will not be able to. But if I am awake, and I want to have some music until I sleep, I will not do that either. I prefer to have music while I go for a walk, but if I want to sleep, I want either near complete silence or looking at something very boring. I can't turn music on while sleeping either. I mean it is impossible. lol [suspenseful]
hahhaha, as i mentioned 2 one mylot's friend earlier, i shud rephrase my discussion title to: will u leave your music on while u r sleeping... [cottonm]
i love music myself. if im not that sleepy and lying on my bed, i usually turn on some music. if im really that tired, i no longer care for some. hehehe.. i normally use my phones mp3 or radio, it's more portable than having something else.. [thaMARKER]
yes its so soothing to the ears mostly slow music r my favorite if i sleep and want to relax... i rarely listen although i would love to be..happy [re2809]
Sometimes I can't get to sleep with out music. Just last night I had Insomnia and put my MP3 player on with special "sleep" songs. I remember about the first 2 and then I was out. [bobbalooi]
i love listening to classical music when i'm sleepy cause it's so relaxing and soothing and makes my sleep an enjoyable one... my 1 month old daughter also loves listening to music before she sleeps that's why i have to charge my cellphone before her bedtime so that it'll play on till she gets to deep sleep [maryann82]
When I am unable to fall asleep at night I will listen to music and it helps me to drift off. I think for me it makes me concentrate on the music verses all that is keeping me from my sleep. I may have to listen to some of my favorites for a bit and then I am out like a log. Not that I would do it all the time but in some instances it is quite soothing. At least I will get some sleep. I so love my music too though. [Angesviper]
I can't listen to music while I'm trying to go to sleep. I don't even like the television to be on while trying to fall asleep cause I try to watch it instead of going to sleep. LOL I have to have it totally dark and very quiet when I go to sleep. [sweetgirl_k1]
sometime but do have the TV on 24 7 [Cajunhellcat]
Lol it is all day and all night for seven days a week [Cajunhellcat]
Most of the time I will not listen to music when I sleep because I can sleep well without them. But sometimes I will listen to some soft music when my mind kept wandering off while I try to sleep because the music will keep my brain occupied and relaxed thus allowing me to sleep. [Jerrymouse]
Hi,cottonm.well,sometimes i could not sleep soon or i was not in a nice mood in the bed i will turn on my ipod and then close my eyes.But i have heard of that it's bad for your ears and brain if you turn on music while sleeping.And i think it is not the most important thing.Unfortunately,i have made 3 of my favourite headphones because of turn on music while sleep//oh...it's not cheap~~~~ [Lovecoffin]
When I was a teenager, I liked to turn on music when I was sleeping. It didn't matter whether I could listen to it or not. I just wanted to take advantage of the time to listen to the music. I don't listen to music when I am sleeping today because I am married and I am afraid it will bother my husband. I love China [youless]
I agree it was a awesome !! I have never seen anything like that ! [metschica25]
happyHellohappy I would have to say I am like you and I cant listen to music . I have before and have fallen to sleep . Most times though I have to finish the whole cd and wait for my fav songs too Lol. I suppose the radio on ral low sometimes will help me fall asleep. [metschica25]
ya true, sometimes u just too familiar with the CD, u know your favorite will come next, then u will finish them b4 u go to sleep, so it can't help me 2 fall asleep ^_^ [cottonm]
i love music too, and i can sleep with music better than without it. because if it's not playing then my mind keeps wondering around and i will never get sleep. slow soothing music always helps me to calm down and shut my brain. [vidasandi]
It really depends, cottonm. If I go to sleep in the normal "sleep time", I'd rather be in silence. In these times, silence is the best thing. But, if I need to sleep a little before than that, a calm music may be a very good alternative. Classical or then a romantic pop music can be a good choice. Finally, better than ANYTHING, for me the rain' noises is the best sound EVER to be heard when you want to sleep.. It makes me so calm, cause it's so relaxing.. =) [falassion]
night night, sweet dream ^_^ [cottonm]
no. i cannot get to sleep if i turned on my music... i will definitely sing with itlol and even if i am sleeping my mind will keep on singing along with the song so when i wake up in the morning, i am having a headache and i know the reason why... i was singing in my sleeplol [hornetlover]
hahahha, agree, me too, singing in my sleep ^_^ dun sing in your sleep too much ^_^ HAppy sleeping tonight & enjoy music again tomorrow morning ^_^ [cottonm]
Its kind of impossible to turn anything on or do anything else while your sleeping. I have however gone to bed with the music playing. TV too. Not intentional about the tv. Both my tv and sterio have timers that shut them off. I use that mostly on the tv but the sterio i dont worry about much. [jdyrj777]
Well I am really music minded and yeah I always turn on my Mp3 and listen to some classical music and it really puts me to sleep.I keep listening and then a few minutes,I just fell asleep and my sleep will be good at all.:-0 God bless and have a nice day [insulin]
have a nice day 2 u too ^_^ i felt sleepy now zzzzzz [cottonm]
I usually sleep with the music on. It seems like therapeutic with me when there is music while I sleep. Soft music of course. I don't like heavy beats music it made me feel sick and dizzy if I hear hard beat music. Yes very relaxing when there is music around. I like to have music while I am working. It is very relaxing. Good luck. [celestial052506]
oh i DO!! u see i think alot before i sleep i cant stop which causes me to take at least two hrs to fall asleep so now i lsten to music and just think of my own fantasiz and stuff it does take time but not as much i would listen for an hr maximum and get sleepy [sandraliciousy]
a great improvements, way 2 go, cheers for music ^_^ [cottonm]
I've been falling asleep lately with my iPOD, I thought I would do the same as you but I found myself falling asleep anyway. Just make a playlist that's an hour or 30 minutes long so you won't stay up all night listening to music. Give it a try and you'll be hooked too. [gitfiddleplayer]
Listening musics,reading newspaper etc makes you sleep.I am a abig fan of listening musics while sleeping...so my music is on 24hours...until i wake up.Especially...when i take hash....the clearity and meaning of music...heard really pure then in the fresh mood.So i love to play music too like guitar,paino. I am listen chinese music of kelly chan....i like her music and other funny guy eason chan...but i only understant little chinese but due to living with the chinese people...that makes me little bit interesting and rythym of musics. [rastamangp]
I listen to music when im asleep because my mind will wander around if its too quiet.. but the music has to be low in volume though or else i'll be singing along the lyrics!. When im sleeping on a bed im not used too for example at a friends place or at the hotel or if i have to share the room with someone else.. i bring my ipod with me so i can listen to my music to make me sleep.I usually listen to slow songs so that it puts me to sleep. Its weird but its true.. [rina312]
I used to play classical so I wouldn't be able to fall asleep to classical. In fact I like too many types of music.I would be listening to the music too much to go to sleep. [sarahruthbeth22]
