Who listens to music whilst going to sleep?

I do, for one. It gets kinda freaky depending on how tired you are, and if you doze off, as I have often found by being awoken from a light sleep by a bloody loud noise that soon turns out to be little more than Opeth or Cathedral blaring in my ears.. I guess that having nothing else to concentrate on lets me enjoy the music more than I usually would too, yet it also can help to get me to sleep in the first place.

I'm an odd fellow.

I love falling asleep to music, but it's almost never metal when I do. I usually fall asleep to classical or some soft rock, like Clapton Unplugged or something. I wake up to metal, because it gives me a jolt and slaps me in the face. Waking up to the likes of "As He Creates, So He Destroys" by Nile or "Bleak" by Opeth is the best thing for the start of a new day, as it makes me, makes me get up and turn the stereo down so that my head doesn't explode when I get up at 7am.

I used to when I had my own room. I remember being scared shitless when I was half asleep listening to The Black House by Krieg

The BM I play while I'm off heading to sleep continues playing till I wake up (I queue up the whole discography). I actually feel refreshed and energised in the morning.

I do it a lot now in college. And it can be as loud as death metal if I'm in the mood. Usually I just play 1 album so I can still wake up when my alarm goes off in the morning.

I could never sleep while music was playing, even if the music is turned down very low.

I used to more often, but now I only do it with newly acquired albums, and I usually don't fall asleep when listening because I'm wearing headphones on very high volume. I listened to Behemoth - Sventevith last night while in bed.
