Sleepy Time Playlist

Lately I’ve been having trouble falling asleep and then staying asleep, typical art school student problem…well really a problem for any college student who is stressed out with school work and a job and social responsibilities. One of the biggest things that helps me get to sleep is putting on some chill music and zoning into it, so here is a mix of songs, albums and artists to fall asleep to.
1. Le fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain by Yann Tiersen
Okay so this is actually an entire album, its the soundtrack from the motion picture Amelie (a must see if you haven’t already), its all beautiful instrumentals. Really anything by Yann is amazing, I’ve got the entire discography!2. The Marie Antoinette Soundtrack
Not every song on here is necessarily the best for when you want to sleep, but this album does have several really beautiful and soothing instruments such as the Vivaldi Concerto and the Opuses by Dustin O’Halloran.3. Mistake Mistake Mistake Mistake by Dntl/James Figurine
Another album, filled with low-key electronic songs and white noise type sounds.4. Andrew Bird
Everything and anything, seriously. Andrew Bird is insanely chill. It’s hard to say what my favorite album is but lately I’ve been digging “The Mysterious Production of Eggs”.5. One Plus One is One by Badly Drawn Boy
This album is really sweet, is calm and has one of my favorite songs ever on it, Year of the Rat (which it actually is this year!), so if you don’t listen to the whole album you should at least look up the music video for Year of the Rat, it will make you warm and happy inside!
