I can sleep to just about any music, but some of the best insomnia killers are:

Blackthorne - Mines music
Illusion of Gaia - Deserted locale music?
Link to the Past - Kakariko Town
Secret of Mana - Fear of the Heavens
Super Metroid - Mini boss confrontation
Ice Climbers - Main theme
Gauntlet - all tracks

I could do so many more, but I'll leave a few for other people to do. If the ones I'm thinking of haven't been posted in a week, I'll add them.

i got 2 examples, the song in buoy base galaxy in mario galaxy, the underwater theme in super mario bros, but one place you won't find soothing BGM, is Trash Panic...

of course i LOVE Trash Panic :)

oh how about on the wii's forecast channel, the globe music is soothing, yea, i know its not a game

also, mario party 8 and wario land shake it have some soothing BGM too

and animal crossing city folk, o god there's soooo many soothing BGM, i'd be here all day if i named them ALL!!!

I used to fall asleep to the Ocarina of Time soundtrack pretty much every night.

Jezus christ have you ever heard of the edit button? Use it.

WHAT THE FUCK? RU TRYING TO START SHIT DUDE, GOOD LUCK!!! YES, IVE HEARD OF THE GODDAMNED EDIT BUTTON

Gonna have to go with the Guild Wars Soundtracks

Always soothing, and most often fallen asleep before it gets to the slightly heavier tracks from the end areas

WHAT THE FUCK? RU TRYING TO START SHIT DUDE, GOOD LUCK!!! YES, IVE HEARD OF THE GODDAMNED EDIT BUTTON

ಠ_ಠ




on topic: X-Com Apocalypse's ambient tracks.

.hack//Quarantine - Ending
Suikoden II - Secret Village of the Ninja

Skies of Arcadia has some very beautiful/soothing songs to fall asleep to such as 'Legend', 'Emotional', etc

I like the tracks from MKDeception's Konuest mode. Very soothing,almost ambient stuff with a healthy dose of Asian ethnic thrown in. Especially Shujinko's Village,Earthrealm and Orderrealm themes. Good stuff. =)

rest - ICO (save screen)... greatest 30 seconds in musical history.

Final Fantasy VI - Celes theme

Music that's nostalgic tends to make me feel relaxed and are the closest thing to putting me to sleep. So almost everything I've played on the SNES really, and very good soundtracks for newer games...

A soundtrack that does come to mind to actually wanting to fall asleep to is the Piano Arrangements for Okami. It's very soothing.

Actually you might think im crazy but Final Fantasy V - Dungeon actually has a relaxing touch to it.

I like to fall asleep to the ending theme of Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. I'm a sucker for slow piano songs.
The Rainbow Cloud song from pokemon snap is a good one. (o.O)

The entire soundtracks for Zelda: A Link to the Past, Secret of Mana, and the Touhou games: Imperishable Night and Perfect Cherry Blossom.

Most of the music from Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis, Rayman 1 and Worms 1 puts me to sleep.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Ice Cavern, Lon Lon Ranch, Water Temple, Kokiri Forest, Zelda's Lullably

How about Celes' Theme from FF6.

The entire soundtracks for Zelda: A Link to the Past...
I think the credits theme of LTTP is especially conducive to relaxation.

Some others:
Super Metroid (Crateria, Brinstar, Maridia)
Super Mario 64 (Dire Dire Docks, Cave Dungeon)
Resident Evil (save room)

I often go to sleep to the Soul Calibur 1 soundtrack. Sonic Unleashed has some pretty mellow music also

I love to fall asleep to some of the mellower songs in Hatsune miku project diva also the underwater themes in various Mario Games most of the World themes in new smb except world 8 of course World 4 & 7 are the best examples of mellow Mario Themes lol I used to fall asleep to the songs on the Mii Channel and forecast channel on the WII it was easy to do. oh how about the WII play title theme and the nintendogs theme?! oh and some of the songs on the PS3'S photo gallery the playstation home mall theme also Mainichi Issyo on PS3 flow and flower, the vocal theme in Zettai Zetsumi Toshi 3 breath of fire underwater, sky blazer DKC aquatic ambience o god i could go on 4ever lmao but i'll stop here

Someday the Dream Will End- FFX
Fly in the Freedom- SA2

Those two are standing out in my head right now.

Thunderforce II, Sword of Vermillion, and Forgotten Worlds, all on Sega Genesis. I used to use these all the time when I was in college. In particular, I think Thunderforce II has really peculiar sound quality, even for Genesis.

Here recently I have been listening to songs like Adieu, Blue, Green Bird, Rain, Black Piano, and several other of the more relaxing songs from Cowboy Bebop.

: D

I love making sleep CDs.

Reminiscence-Suikoden II
Nephilim-Xenosaga I
Cloud Smiles-FFVII : AC (Not a video game, but it's all gravy in my book.)
Aeris' Theme (Orchestral)-FFVII
Underwater Theme-FFVII
Theme of Love (Orchestral)-FFIV
Zelda's Lullaby (Orchestral)-OoT, duh. haha.
Fountain of Dreams-Smash Bros. Melee
Observatory Theme-Super Mario Galaxy
Dive into the Mellow (Aquatic Mine)-Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
Overworld theme (crossing those hills)-FFVIII
Suteki da ne (piano version)-FFX
To Zanarkand (piano only version)-FFX
The intro screen music on Skies of Arcadia is great, too. : D

Also, metroid has some good ambient stuff-Torvus Bog (mp2) and Skytown Elysia (mp:corruption); the underwater frigate theme from mp1 is very peaceful as well.

Ack! Almost forgot avertunerio antes lace from suikoden; there are a few other good ones from their piano collections, too.

Hmm. Looks like I lean a bit toward the FF side of things, but hey-they've got so much backing them in terms of production of piano collections, concerts, etc.


The list goes on and on, man. SO many great sleep songs.

There are probably more, that is all I can think of.
PLEASE: LISTEN TO "TOTEMS OF THE GRIZZLEMAW" and the "MOUNTAINS OF THUNDER" in full. Let me know your opinions. I think they're the most beautiful songs.


EDIT: Listen to World of Goo - The Best Of Times (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHId6LIPVd4)

And a lot of songs from the Chrono Cross OST :)

Most of the material from Chrono Cross is very relaxing, I often listen too it to relax and chillout...it has a very nice island feel on some songs (Plains Of Time)

Music from Braid. More specifically, Lullaby and Downstream

There are lots of songs that can put you to sleep...
For the final fantasy ones...like..Aerith's theme..
I don't recommend One Winged Angel if you're trying to go to sleep though xD

Tell me about it sometimes I fall asleep to FFVII and it's all mellow and I drift off Z_Z and then all of a sudden One Winged Angel comes on @_@ !!

Here's the one I made for my 2 year old daughter to sleep to. She goes in and turns it on every night. It makes me happy how much she likes it.

Julia - FFVIII
Roses and Wine - FFVIII
My Mind - FFVIII
Hermit's Library - Daguerro - FFIX Piano Collections
Grandpa's Violin - .hack// Liminality
Dai Yon Gakushou Romance - FFXII Symphonic Poem "Hope"
The Forgotten City - FFXI The Star Onions
Ronfaure - FFXI
Griffons Never Die - FFXI
Didn't Know But Is Was Love - .hack// Liminality
Aina - .hack
Distant Worlds -Guitar Version - FFXI Premium Box
Daughter of The Great Summoner - FFX
Mhaura - FFXI
Recollection - FFXI
Mog House - FFXI
In Water, Air, and Light - Valkyrie Profile

The whole Morrowind soundtrack for me, also Fable and Diablo 2.
I also enjoy Silent Hill when I sleep but maybe i'm a bit wierd >.>

I also enjoy listening to Silent Hill Ost's when I sleep also, you are not alone. especially the FLAC ones, which I ripped myself, you can hear everything. My fave ost.

Assassin's Creed 2 has some really good soothing music.

I can't believe no one mentioned the Thunder Plains theme from Final Fantasy X.
Although that's a tricky one, as it's very calming and soothing yet energetic.

Also, Memories from Dynasty Warriors 5

VGMs to fall asleep too ... hmm.

There Is Life Everywhere - Hitoshi Sakimoto - Radiant Silvergun
Nightmare - Kartsy Hatakka & Kimmo Kajasto - Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne

The second one may seem funny, but I've fallen asleep listening to it before.

I'm surprised no one said this one..but the night time town theme from Brave Fencer Musashi could put anyone in a peaceful slumber :) Amazing song, and soundtrack as a whole. I suggest it to all who enjoy VGM.

Jellyfish Sea - Chrono Cross

This was the first one that came to mind, but I have a whole lot more that I fall asleep to. I might list them later.

Xenosaga III - in a limestone cave http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LId8l6Rc6Y

Valkyrie Profile 2 - Neighboring Infinity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhNMYYlgE58

Shadow Hearts: Covenant - Holy Land of God http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrjBiYQasnY

Those are my favorites when I want to sleep. :3

I would definitely have to say anything from Morrowind or Oblivion.

I don't think I need to list songs from Xenogears and Chrono Cross because we all know which ones they are, right?

I would sleep to most, if not, all the songs from the first .hack//SIGN OST

Valkyria Chronicles - Main Theme
Sonic Adventure 1/2 - Open Your Heart, Live & Learn
Demon's Souls - Main Theme, Maiden In Black
T5 : DR - Snow Castle, Pink Pop
Sonic 06 - His World, My Destiny, Dreams of an Absolution, All Hail Shadow, Soleanna New City/Forest

The SimCity 3000 Theme by Jerry Martin.

There are lot's from Chrono Cross. Shadow of the Colossus aswell is nice :D
Also the ICO save screen like someone else mentioned, a remix of it can be found at ocremix.com - Great site for remixed video game music.
The music from Flower and Everyday Shooter is really nice aswell, although hard to find. An OST of Flower is being released soon though.

My personal favorite would be Stickerbrush Symphony (that music from the bramble levels) from DKC2. It's soothing, invigorating - everything really. I just love it, it's perfect for any occasion. Dave Wise does not get anywhere near enough love, I think.

Hmmmm... Well I have drifted to sleep peacefully listening to these songs before:

Final Fantasy VII - City of the Ancients
Final Fantasy VIII - The Desperados (Laguna's Fight Theme)
BioShock 1 and 2's "Oldie Songs"
Hunter The Reckoning's Main Menu Theme

Devil May Cry 4- The idol of the "Time and Space"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrO-j5xIrxA

Ive slept through this a lot.

Tetrisphere, yeah, it's insane techno, but its that rhythmic electronica that puts me into a strange, relxed trance.

I have a suggestion, could we begin to bundle up our favorite video game sleep / chillout songs and upload them for others to enjoy?

I am a substitute teacher and I play soothing VGM all day long in my class, so I'm always looking for more, but I only played so many games...

SoI am trying to enlist teh help of fellow VGM whores such as yourselves, please help jigen get more calm / chillout VGM.

Oh course I will start with myself and upload my own personal collection of sleepy songs, I will post my upload in the next few days, I really hope someone else participates.

I am sure to include some darkstalkers, metroid, zelda, samurai shodown, last blade if I can find it..., donkey kong country, much motoi love, and hopefully some surprises... Please check back to download it.

OOoooooooh! Pleasepleasepleaseplease. =D That would be wonderful. I do love a lot of the music that's be mentioned on this thread, but I don't have much of it. This idea, if implemented, would be a godsend. Pleasepleasepleasepleeeeeaase! <3

Pretty much any theme from Okami is relaxing to me

Although I have finished my Sleep time Pack, I am having difficulty uploading it, so I will need to wait till I move back to america and have my regular internet connection, this one is pissing me off and is slow to upload. But its 1.2 GB as of now (I might add to it). So maybe next month I can upload it. Still this doesn't stop others from uploading their own songs...

I think the Super Mario Bros 2 Credits is good for sleeping purposes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBPgsoOuvMQ&feature=related

OP, I think you should make a zip of that collection! Got some good stuff in there, but I'm thinking I don't want to have to go through that many soundtracks to put it together...

Super Mario 64: Piranha Plant's Lullaby
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story: The End
Pokemon Snap: Rainbow Cloud
Sonic Adventure 2: Chao Garden, Hero Garden

Alright, I guess I'll give this a shot...

Phendrana Drifts - Metroid Prime
The Legend of Zelda Medley - Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Symphony
Sea Breeze - Dragon Quest IV Symphonic Suite
Cursed Shinshuu Plains I - Okami OST
Awakened Forest - Final Fantasy IX
Melodies of Life - Final Fantasy IX
Frontier Village Dali - Final Fantasy IX
Thunder Plains - Final Fantasy X
Besaid Island - Final Fantasy X
Someday the Dream Will End - Final Fantasy X
Vamo' alla Flamenco - Piano Squall
Peaceful Repose - Flower Soundtrack
Wind Scene - Chrono Trigger Original Sound Version
Memories of Green - Chrono Trigger Original Sound Version
Tragedy - Skies of Arcadia (Eternal Arcadia)
Emotional - Skies of Arcadia (Eternal Arcadia)
Outset Island - Wind Waker Original Soundtrack

Those are just a few, but to REALLY sum up what I listen to just about every night- I really enjoy the Final Fantasy Piano Collections, as well as Symphonic and Orchestrated music from my favorite games. I can't do climatic, action, or scary moments from games before bed. The corresponding level has to be something I have no clue and don't remember where it came from, or it has to be THE place/level in the game that I enjoyed hanging out in most and where most of my memories where created.

Edit: OH AND I LOVE THE FLOWER SOUNDTRACK!

FF VIII Piano Collection - Blue Fields, now this makes you sleepy :D:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AtrOwv8K9o

FF VIII Piano Collection - Blue Fields, now this makes you sleepy :D:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AtrOwv8K9o

Great song. Most of the Piano Collection works are fantastically done and are great to go to sleep to!

Okay here is my upload... it has a bunch of songs, please enjoy...

I have things from soft ambient to relaxed j-pop (from a game). It has been tested, all music is cool to fall asleep to, although different games were ripped at different volumes, so if you put the folder on random, be prepared for differing volumes.

I have lots of games in here, I won't list them all, but I'll list some of the major ones...

Castlevania
Guild Wars Factions
Okami
Bio-hazard 2
The Legend of Zelda
and many others...

As I said before, I implore others to make their own sleep time packs, I surely would enjoy to hear others favorites...

Here is a pic of the folders to see exactly which games are included...
(http://s87.photobucket.com/albums/k140/jigenbakuda/?action=view&current=PreviewPic.jpg)

Braid. Wonderful music but it really makes my mind work slowly when it was supposed to work fast...

I have a whole playlist of music to listen to when I sleep... *__*

(http://img232.imageshack.us/i/sleeptimemusic.png/)

because making an image is much easier than listing them all.

Wow, there are a lot of good ones here but I'm honestly surprised that no one mentioned The Dig by Michael Land

interesting thread. i usually leave radio or podcasts on till i pass out. the ricky gervais xfm show, streaming soundtracks.com are ones i like to.

My top three would be Longing (Children of Mana) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epwCz8Wrf2s), Aquatic Ambiance (Donkey Kong Country) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDvKwSVuUGA), and Town (Final Fantasy 1&2) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7Yi25kLmPI).

Oh! Cinnabar Island in Heartgold/Soulsilver.
Perfect fit for the Pokemon category.

YouTube - Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver - Cinnabar Island (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fdRXj2nGJw)

One of my favorite songs to relax to (and I'm a little surprised I haven't seen it mentioned already on this thread, unless I missed it) is "Godot's theme: The fragrance of dark coffee" from Phoenix Wright 3. It's very jazzy and surprisingly relaxing to listen to, considering it's the theme for a guy who is constantly drinking coffee. I particularly like the version from the "Turnabout Jazz Soul" album".

Turnabout Jazz Soul - Track 8 - Godot - The Fragrance of Dark Coffee (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMnrl0tmd3k)

There's also a few videos out there on youtube that have combined this song with Rainymood.com's track, which really enhances the mood.

The Fragrance of Dark Coffee vs RainyMood.com (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE6HfI9EDPw)

enjoy!

Elder Scrolls IV, Oblivion (Jeremy Soule) - Auriel's Ascension
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ba0h4Z21wT8

Spyro The Dragon: Dark Hollow:

YouTube - Spyro 1 music request: Dark Hollow (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz34IjAtMlA)

I win.

Home Sweet Home from Beyond Good and Evil. So beautiful

Home Sweet Home from Beyond Good and Evil. So beautiful

The Yaschas Masif - Final Fantasy XIII

Three tracks come to mind, if not already named:
"A Moment of Relief"/Resident Evil: Code Veronica
"Besaid"/Final Fantasy X-2(this was a regular to snooze to...5.1 Surround was just beautiful)
"The Cave"/ Super Castlevania IV

Holy necrobump batman.

I know this activity was banned in Cyrodiil, but let's make like it's Morrowind, and get all necrophiliac on this thread.

That's really obscure Elder Scrolls reference, and if you get it, props.

But, uhm. I don't fall asleep to this, more I wake up to it. I have 'Today Arrives, Becoming Tomorrow' set as my alarm tone. Every god damned morning, I wake up to this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO9tUhKgCBM).

The idea was that the normal alarm sound was way too harsh, and waking up to it would sully the start of the day. I thought this was a rather pleasant song to wake up to, so I set it as my alarm, and found it's waking up that ruins the start of my day. I was too lazy to change my alarm clock back to it's regular beeping, and have been waking up to this for about two years now.

Despite all that, I still find the song rather nice and pleasant.

"A Moment of Relief"/Resident Evil: Code Veronica
I was going to mention this one. Very relaxing/calming song.
Same for the "Save Room" theme from 'Resident Evil: Director's Cut' (which is mysteriously absent from all of the OSTs/gamerips I've found).

And these are the ones that I actually play the most. What? You asked. ;P

I must sayKirite from Yasunori Mitsuda even if it is not a video game soundtrack Kirite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirite)
sometimes I listen to it to sleep or when I wake up in the morning with my first coffee browsing the interwebs.

Most recently I've been listening to the track 'Are You Coming Home, Mother' or something along those lines from the World of Goo soundtrack as I go to sleep. I'm not entirely sure why.

For some odd reason I fell asleep to Sonic Adventure 2 Battle's Final boss battle theme and had it playing for about 5 hrs straight off the game's Sound test...XD

Most of Chrono Cross soundtrack! some FFIX tracks are also really relaxing! Somehow I love sleeping to Shadow of the Colossus soundtrack and also, weirdly, Silent Hill soundtracks. ICO and Metroid Prime soundtracks are also very soothing. Sorry for not listing any song in particular but if you don't know those soundtracks yet you REALLY should!

Hmmmm......either Super Mario Bros (any of them) or World - But it can't be some Haunted House, Cave, Castle or Bowser song. Gotta be something more......you know, light hearted for lack of better term.

Even if I'm a Final Fantasy series fan, I listen to a track of the Okami OST before going to bed. Any track. All of them are relaxing and -above all- perfect. :)

I like the Zelda Reorchestrated mixes of Majora's Mask and Ocarina. Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 work well too.

Xenogears (mitsuda) and ChoroQ (takara sound team/Fumio Tanabe /tenpei sato ect...). But the list is infinite

Any of the Silent Hill soundtracks for me.

Metroid Prime was a life changing game for me, The best adventure and first shooter I ever played. Here's 3 amazing tracks from my sleep playlist :3 Your welcome!

How about Ecco the Dolphin music. Mega Drive/Genesis Ice Zone is so nice.
The Sega CD music is nice too some good for sleeping

Any of the Silent Hill soundtracks for me.

Even the disturbing ones? :p

The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess - Fishing Hole
So serene and soothing, I love it.

Oh and Ys: The Oath in Felghana OST - 01 A Premonition
So beautiful, just like many of the other tracks from Oath in Felghana.

Medal of Honor Main Theme by Michael Giacchino.

---------- Post added at 03:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 AM ----------

And the Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory score is beautiful :)

I feel that Dire, Dire Dock,s from Super Mario 64 is the only way to go, just sayin, either that or the aquatic them from DKC. Both very tranquil,

Please check them out.

Oo, so I haven't posted in forever, but - wow, yeah, this kind of thing is my s**t. I constantly listen to music to help me sleep. - and I lean towards ambient electronic or hybrids (acoustic + electronic instruments).

Anyway, currently, my main sleep albums are a series of video game soundtracks: (the "highlight" is just a track or section of the album that I picked as the best or one of the best)

Astroneer by Rutger Zuydervelt (https://youtu.be/k81IIdjEkqo) : highlight (https://youtu.be/3NG_5gdrUvE)
(selections from) Celeste by Lena Raine (https://youtu.be/lfdzCkz1wdc) : highlight (https://youtu.be/oHdSK43cIf8)
This War of Mine (mostly) by Piotr Musical (https://youtu.be/HMXN8xClCrU) : highlight (https://youtu.be/BXAh_i-5pT0)
Hyper Light Drifter by Disasterpeace (https://youtu.be/bq7a_ktfYck) : highlight (https://youtu.be/wEA5Xuc4-a4)
Ori and the Blind Forest by Gareth Coker (https://youtu.be/MkzeOmkOUHM) : highlight (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeVFrt7BUyw&t=3766s)
Journey by Austin Wintory (https://youtu.be/M3hFN8UrBPw) : highlight (https://youtu.be/TLfj3pAlrs4)
(selections from) Dreamfall Chapters by Simon Poole : highlight (https://youtu.be/kGBW5KoFhfo)

(selections from) Hollow Knight by Christopher Larkin : hightlight (https://youtu.be/87RtYd0HJK4)

- and, off script for a second: "Pigsy Sacrifice (https://youtu.be/1L9a3_GFH2A)", a track by Nitin Sawhney from the "Enslaved Odyssey to the West" soundtrack is one of my favorite sleep tracks. I've honestly listened to just that one track on repeat, all night (and it's only a minute, seventeen seconds in length)

Columns - Clotho & Lathesis

Shanghai II: Dragon's Eye - Garden Theme, Space Theme & Saloon Theme

Shenmue - Abe's Store, Main Menu Theme, & Shenhua

Shanghai - Music Theme B

Breath Of Fire III - Yggdrasil

Vandal Hearts - City Of Glasgow

Xenogears - Bonds Of Sea & Fire

I'd give a shout out to any of Good-Feel's "materials" games, ie Kirby's Epic Yarn and Yoshi's Woolly World. Both have lots of soothing music that is good for exactly this.

This piano arrangement of "Secret of the Forest" from Chrono Trigger:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vgTnT5iKQc

Everything from Terranigma. All of the music feels somehow soothing even in action sequences.

It might have already been posted, but anyway:

Enjoy.

"Skyrim Atmospheres", which was included in the 4xcd release of "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Original Game Soundtrack".
Veeery soothing...
