I'm a music lover. I'm more likely to listen to music than watching television. Music gives me a nice moods. Sometimes I fell asleep while listening to it. Until i got used to it and even while I'm reading I wanted to have a music on the background.
But some said they can't sleep if there is a music on. It disturbs their mind. I asked them if they like music and they said yes. I was wondering why this people love music but they don't like it on when they're going to sleep. I don't know what's the matter with them.
Just wondering. You guys see it confusing or they has the point that they just like to be peaceful while sleeping.

ya i like a muzic a lot but I cant sleep easily when listening to songs becz i go with song and i want to enjoy song so I will not get sleep.In rare cases where their are melodious songs i will get sleep as they are soothening stuff for brain and makes us to sleep. [sindhu88]
Right, maybe it depends on the music you listing to. Thanks for responding! Happy mylotting! [micahbrul]
I think I'm more like you - if given a choice between falling asleep with the television on or the radio, I would go with the radio. I just hate listening to someone watching the television while I'm trying to fall asleep (especially when they turn the volume high). However, I probably wouldn't be able to fall asleep with the radio easily either because I don't know what song is going to be on. xD I like falling asleep while listening to my iPod most, because then I can choose calm songs that help me relax. =P I can't fall asleep while listening to loud or fast music, it just gets me more energetic. I have a sleeping playlist and sometimes I'll listen to it before falling asleep, especially if I'm not very tired. I'm just so used to it now and every time I hear these songs, they make me want to sleep. xD Sometimes I'm just not in the music mood though, and then I'll listen to silence. =P [Zezloler]
uhmm... yeah! I have my sleeping playlist on my mp3 player too. But mostly I don't use it because whenever I'm gonna use it, it always lowbatt.lol! I just listen on the radio with minimized volume and I have a station that played music more than talk. Maybe it was really meant for soft mellow listener. Thanks for responding & keep on listening! lol [micahbrul]
Yes, I can sleep even the radio is on but it would depend upon the type of music that I am hearing and also the volume of it. Usually I fall asleep when the volume is soft and low. I myself is a music lover and music is my passion. Through music, I can relate my experiences in life to the song. By the way, welcome to myLot. I just hope you would enjoy your stay here. Keep posted! God speed! [braveheart07]
Sure.. Added you already! [micahbrul]
I also am totally a music lover. Whenever I'm in my computer then I turn my favourite songs and mostly when I'm in mylot. I love listening to the music while in the mylot and doing other things in my computer. Apart from that while I'm sleeping and I couldn't sleep at the time like this music helps me alot to get into sleep. So, whenever I'm having sleepless nights then music is most for me. [diillu]
That's the advantage for us Music lovers. Whenever we can't sleep there's always a way! MUSIC! lol Thanks! Happy mylotting! [micahbrul]
i can sleep even if the radio is on as long as the music/song is good to hear (love song, and instrumental jazz mostly). [mrbrownedeye]
Yeah! instrumental jazz is nice to hear. I liked that also. It makes me grooved! lol Thanks.. Happy mylotting! [micahbrul]
i love the music...sometimes i like to listen the radio for getting sleep may be somepeople lost their concentration while listening the radio..thatswhy i think they dont prefer it..but for me the radio acts as a like a refreshment...now also i am listening the radio while i am writing this [harikrishna610]
Yeah.. I thought that as well. They lost concentration. Not for us! lol Thanks! happy Mylotting! Keep Posting! [micahbrul]
Yes my preferred way of sleeping is with the music on. I enjoy having some white noise in the background at all times just for inspiration or something. I've never really had a problem sleeping with other noises surrounding me but that's just me. [jambi462]
Ahmmm.. right! Thanks for the response! Happy mylotting! [micahbrul]
If I"m working nightshifts and really need sleep I will put on music and use it as a white noise so it will distract my mind and make me focus on that subconciously. My brain focuses on the music and won't be interupted with other noises. It's very difficult sometimes to sleep during the day after working all night so this helps me. Have a good day [nixxi76]
Yeah right! I did that as well whenever I can't sleep. Thanks Nix! Happy Mylotting! [micahbrul]
when i was younger i did listen to the radio all night . now that i am a momand a wife and i have to get up and do more than get ready for school i tend not to sleep with music on cuz i need my sleep to keep up with my kidsand the radio tended to wake me up now i WANT my sleep [mandytaylor48]
We tend to change ways whenever we have committed or something like when get a family with us. We tend to focus on them than ours. Thanks Mandy! Happy Mylotting. Regards with your family! [micahbrul]
well i have always fallen to sleep while listening to the radio its just something i have always done. lately though if i try to fall asleep and its on i just cant for the life of me do it. when i turn the radio off then i go straight to sleep so i suppose im just not used to noise while going to sleep anymore. [molloy]
Really? Maybe we really change moods! Thanks & Happy mylotting! [micahbrul]
Not only music but whatever program i listen through radio, i can sleep. Many times it happened that i switched off the television and start listening the programmes in radio. But half way through i will fall into deep sleep and my wife had to switch of f the radio. [anulakshman]
I always did that! And my house mates keep on complaining because I consumes a lot of electricity. lol! [micahbrul]
Yes, I love music. I can not listen to it and read. When I read I like it to be silent. I like to image myself as being there so I need to concentrate and make sure that I'm understand every little detail. As far as sleeping I guess it would depend on what type of music it is. If is slow and mellow and low I would not have any problems going to sleep, but if it is upbeat I can see how that might be a problem. [agrant10]
Yea, but for me I'm in a quiet place because while I'm reading I like to act like I'm there in the story observing. [agrant10]
happyYes, it depends upon the choice as well as mind set of the particular person. w00tBut I can sleep with my radio's slow and smooth music. Thre is nothing new in it! Thanks and have a good day!surrender [Mitraa]
Yeah agree! Lot of hear said they can but some said they cant sleep while the music is on. It vary! lol Thanks for responding! [micahbrul]
I love sleeping with the radio on and listening to some good songs. Music is so soothing to me in that it helps me to drift off to sleep so easily. I've been falling asleep with the radio on ever since I was a little kid. It's also a good way to keep up with the latest music and learn some really good songs from the radio as well. [Keola12]
Yes that's one benefit! Thanks for responding! [micahbrul]
Personally, I sleep with the TV on. I don't sleep well when it is too quiet. I'll turn on a good tv show in my bedroom and fall asleep watching it. Wake up at like 3am, roll over and turn off the tele. [mullthisova]
TV is quite good also! thanks for the respond! [micahbrul]
When I was young I used to have to have my radio on to go to sleep. Now that I'm older I can do without it. I have noticed that when I sleep with the radio on I would wake partially up all through the night. But when I turned it off I didn't notice waking up at all. I read an article about a study that was done that said that when we have any kind of noise going on while we were sleeping we would not get into the deep restful sleep that our bodies and mind needed to refresh itself. I really believe that is true because I am always more tired the mornings after I have slept with my radio on all night. [savak03]
Really... That's another facts to keep in mind! Thanks for sharing! [micahbrul]
Depends on the day. If I'm very tired, I can stay asleep with music. However, the days that I am not tired, I can not sleep with music. [Micky1966]
Well. you really fall asleep fast, your tired that's why! lol Thanks micky! [micahbrul]
i hate sleeping when it is really quite because the littlest noises bother me like dripping faucets or a tapping noise. so i started sleeping with the radio and a fan and i love it because it drowns out all the noises. i dont think i could go to sleep without a radio or something going in the background! [littlevv29]
Right, I had that feeling before. Fan really gives me an annoying sounds. Sorry! Thanks for the respond! [micahbrul]
Unless I am not feeling tired, generally any kind of noise won't stop me from falling asleep. I slept standing up before and it is not recommended LOL But I do prefer soothing jazz from the radio rather than tv noises. I think noises from tv are much sharper and thus more disturbing. Especially in the night, radio DJs tend to speak softer and slower, it is almost like a lullaby :) [catmint]
Yeah! Really you sleep in standing position? That's too hard! lol Thanks for the responds. [micahbrul]
i usually sleep with my CD player on [sarawaken]
Well i guess they just want their sleep to be peaceful, I know some people who does'nt like to sleep while there's a music on, it's probably they're only time to relax, set aside music for a while let their mind flush away their stress by being peaceful even in their sleep.. Me myself is a music lover and I listen to all types of music and a member of an alternative band here in my town, and sometimes i'd like to sleep with my radio on and it feels good. Sometimes music has became of a part of dreams like a soundtrack of my dream and woke the next day falling in love with someone (it's a weird feeling...hehehe!). And sometimes I like to sleep without listening to music because I want to let it go for a moment because i've been listening music for the whole day while playing in the band.. so I wanted to clear out mind in my sleeping time and forget music for a meantime.. (add me to your list of friends mica, thanks) [wallson]
yeah right! you have an excuse! lol Sure, you can add me. Thanks for the response! [micahbrul]
No! I am a terribly sensitive sleeper. the lightest gust of wind would wake me up unless I was really fatigued. For me, music fills up a blank space. Like when I'm driving or running on the treadmill, I like to listen to music. But when I'm going to sleep, I need to have the blank space. Otherwise, i can't sleep! [mimico]
Well yeah.. People really different. Thanks for the response. [micahbrul]
Hi there. Yes, but that's during High School days I used to sleep with my radio on until morning. But now I couldn't sleep with some noise, it will definitely distract my sleep. Well, it does matter to me and I consider it because I am not getting any younger, funny but it's true lol but though I still love listening music some times when I'm in the mood...I used to write some poems and letters too before while listening to the radio and of course I am waiting for my favorite song to be played. Keep it up and keep on posting, happy mylot. [jeiyah_12]
don't worry everyone will get old. lol! Thanks for the response! [micahbrul]
I usually go to sleep with the radio on. I rarely use music, usually talk radio. I get interested in the talk and it goes on and on and sort of tends to drone after awhile. If I concentrate on the radio I am distracted from thinking about my problems and worrying. Also it tends to drown out the little noises that you do not hear during the day, the creaks of the house, the wind, and the neigbours voices. [mariposaman]
There is absolutely nothing the matter with them, micahbrul. Why would someone assume that there is something wrong with people who like to sleep in silence? Liking to sleep in quiet does not mean one is not a lover of music. I love music but when I sleep I like for my mind to be able to relax. [Transdisc]
Yeah ok! I got it now. Thanks for the response Transdisc. [micahbrul]
yes i could sleep even more when the radio is on, sounds romantic it feel's like someone's doing some "harana" with you.lol [becnh83]
Hehehe... You look like in love huh. lol! Thanks for the response. [micahbrul]
I seldom listen radio, i like watching TV. Liking you sleep with radio, i always fall asleep still with TV on. [scraperfly]
When I have my radio on it is not turn o to music, I be listening to talk shows, I can sleep with the radio on, I am so sleepy that I fall asleep with the radio on, when I get up in the morning the radio is still on, no the radio does not bother me when I am sleeping because, I don't hear it anymore when I fall asleep.happy [notlistening2]
You have a point! lol! Thanks for the response! [micahbrul]
I can sleep but i prefer a complete silence. Just as you've said, i like music but not much when i sleep. I get disturbed easily. I'm restless when i sleep with sounds around. Maybe if it's a mellow sound, it doesn't disturb me much. But i'd rather turn if off. [jb_vete]
Good discussion, if you ask me that, could you sleep even the radio is on then my answer will be ofcourse. [jadhavsiddh]
Yeah.... hahahah! your cool! Thanks anyway jadhavsiddh! [micahbrul]
I almost always fall asleep to music playing. I love it. [sid556]
Thanks for the response! [micahbrul]
Well, I don't usually listen to music all the time.. I like more to watched movies than to listen a music.. I just usually listening music when I every time I want to sleep or I just like to listen to music.. Yes, I can sleep even the radio is on.. I love to sleep when theres a music because it makes me feel that there's someone singing a lullaby.. Yes, others can't sleep when the radio is on.. I really don't know the reason since I am not in their position.. Each person has its own like and dislikes and if ever we have the same likes and dislikes but we have different reasons.. Only some certain things can meet our reasons but not all the time.. happy [kissie34]
Definitely! Thanks for the response! [micahbrul]
YEAH...Music is my life.. and i love listening 2 rnb pop or love song that i can apriciate the meaning..=P thats the reason why i can get sleep easily [frizzy_flirt]
Keep on Rockin' Frizzy! Thanks for the response! [micahbrul]
Well eventhoug I am a musician and a talent scout,reviewing almost 150 songs a day,I really can't sleep while the radio is on because It need some silence at all because my work everyday Is to listen to different new band.Well infact music is always great but I can't sleep with some loud thing.God bless and have a nice day..;-0 [insulin]
You have an excuse! lol Thanks for the response! [micahbrul]
My husband is a musician and vocalist, he can't sleep with the music on either. He says because his mind is kept active by the music. When he listens to music, he does not do anything else, he is very concentrated because he listens to all the instruments. I don't how he does it but he can actually single out the beat of the drums, the rhythm of the guitar and all that. I think that is why he can't sleep when he listens to music because his mind keeps running as he tries to study the beat and the arrangments. I, on the other hand, is used to having music when I sleep and when I work. Maybe its how "deeply" you listen to the music that makes the difference. [silverglint]
Thanks for the response! [micahbrul]
well, there are music lovers who can't sleep when the radio is on and i must admit that i'm one of those people.. i wanted my surroundings to be quiet when sleeping... you know, i've been suffering from sleeping disorder for years and i couldn't afford to waste the opportunity of getting a nice and peaceful sleep.. [gracie04]
I understand! Thanks for the response. [micahbrul]
When I was a student,It happens to me very often.The music was on,but I fell asleep.And now,I have worked,I never do it,I don't know why.Maybe I also hope it is peaceful while sleeping. [o_utsider]
hi. i can't.. unlike with some other people who can sleep through loud booming sound. i can definitely sleep with the lights on, though. happy mylotting. [shiloh_222]
I like music while sleeping and studying as you.Music exists as a moral support for me in both occassions.But I differ from you in one aspect.That is,I use to play a tape recorder by that time instead of a radio.Because,with a radio we can't predict what comes next and a worst song coming up is likely to spoil our mood.With a tape we have our own collections and it will not interrupt us badly.That is why I prefer a tape.Also,it getf switched off once it is finished, unlike a radio. Cheers! [srganesh]
Yeah, right! lol Thanks for the response! [micahbrul]
I too am a music lover......... I sometimes used to sleep when the radio is on............ But yesterday, I slept while listening to radio........ HAVE A NICE DAY!!!!!!!!!! HAPPY MYLOTTING!!!!!!!!!! [gvaisakh]
Thanks, Happy Mylotting! [micahbrul]
I love to listen to music when I am working, resting, eating, taking a bath, cooking and maybe all the time even when going to sleep. One time that I cannot listen to music is when I am teaching my son. [sanju69]
hehehe.. yeah kids didn't like music while studying. It interrupts their attention. Thanks for the response! [micahbrul]
It would depend what I was listening to, but most likely I would not be able to sleep with the radio on! [angemac23]
Thanks for the response! Happy mylotting! [micahbrul]
yes i do love also listening to the music while im in bed. i love to make some story regarding to that song that plays. so i didnt noticed that i was asleep and after i woke up in the morning my radio still on.. [gaylalou690]
Hehehe... Thanks for the response! Happy mylotting! [micahbrul]
I haven't done that for a long time. But there are some songs that can help me sleep sound. It is because there are some songs being played in the night when I was a child, in that old radio, I miss it, when I hear them today played softly, there are some memories or feelings that makes me relax. But it doesn't work the same when I am the one who set the sounds up, I have to hear it played from a distance by a neighbor for the it to take effect, kind of OA, lol. [JDy116]
yeah! sort of! lol Thanks for the response! Happy mylotting! [micahbrul]
i do love my music but im sorry but i cant fall asleep unless i have complete silence. Kuz the smallest noice could wake me up im a light sleeper :/ xxx [zedzed]

Thanks for the response! Happy mylotting! [micahbrul]
Yes, I can sleep very well if the radio is on. Actually I used to learn and read while the radio was on. I'm addicted to music, I work better if the music is on. [lilisor]
Same here! Thanks for the response! Happy mylotting! [micahbrul]
When I am tired, no noise, but snoring, will keep me awake. I watch TV at night and fall asleep with it on but have the timer set to shut it off. If I am tired but my mind is going 100 mph with stuff, music or TV takes my mind off of it and helps me sleep. [nanajanet]
Thanks for the response! Happy mylotting! [micahbrul]
I remembered some science statists showed that different music audio frequency may be belonged to a,ß...may be the a frequency (I can't remember the exact frequency), only if the music has the same frequency with brain wave so that you can have a better sleep.By the way is that a way of wasting energy when you fall asleep but the radio still on? [dyn_vivian1981]
I thought that too. lol! Thanks for the response! Happy mylotting! [micahbrul]
I am a very light sleeper, so I cannot sleep with tv or radio on. Or even when it is light outside. If there is any change in light or sound it wakes me up. Not fun. I have a son who sleeps with radio on tv on, no matter what! He likes to set the timer on the television and fall asleep with the tv on when he goes to bed at night (a new habit). I love music too, but just can't have it on when I am going to bed. [quinnkl]
Thanks for the response! Happy mylotting! [micahbrul]
I have absolute no problem to sleep with the radio on. Sometimes,it´s more easy for me to fall asleep if I have the radio on,with a loud volume [ennasus59]
Thanks for the response! Happy mylotting! [micahbrul]
I have to have something playing to fall asleep....not just any music though. it needs to be relaxing, soft music. my husband and i have a playlist on our iPod that we call our "dream mix" and it's full of different instrumental music. my husband plays the didjeridoo so we have lots of relaxing didj jams on there. very nice to fall asleep to :) [kjoubert]
Thanks for the response! Happy mylotting! [micahbrul]
I am Vivek Kumar . Yes i acn sleep when radio is on. Because i am music lover. when i sleep in night that time radio is on. [vivekmadhu]
Thanks for the response! Happy mylotting! [micahbrul]
I nearly always sleep with the radio on.It makes me clear my head after the day and makes me think of the next step for the next day.I'd advice u listen to inpirational song at night before you sleep,Kanye West is an option. [trinitix]
I love to listen christian song! Thanks for the response and happy Mylotting. [micahbrul]
I can sleep with the radio on and do so sometimes. My boyfriend likes to sleep with the tv off and no radio. So most of the time I just go to sleep with it being quiet. [NikkiLuvsAlex]
Thanks for the response. Happy mylotting! [micahbrul]
I don't always do it, but sometimes I put five disc in the cd player so it will play all night while I sleep. Some of the symphonic works are great to sleep to. I've also had my radio on all night listening to music. It has to be easy listening music. [6precious102]
Yeah... Thanks for the response, happy mylotting! [micahbrul]
I am a music lover too! Music is do more good than harm, my friends can't do nothing to prevent me love it! I can also fall asleep while listening to it just like you! Music can always make me feel peaceful, so it will not affect my sleep when the music is on! The one who love music but couldn't go on sleeping maybe still feeling excited while the music is on, so it is difficult for he/she to sleep! [378144062]
Thanks for the response.. Happy mylotting! [micahbrul]
Hello micahbrul, the short answer is that if I am tired enough I will sleep no matter what is on. Generally though I like to switch everything off before I go to sleep. The irony though is when the neighbour's radio is on or they are listening to music. Then I can't sleep at all. In this case I have to get up and turn on my radio, so that I can get back to sleep. Strange how my own noise is more comforting than my neighbour's. Maybe I don't like surprises, when I am trying to get to sleep. It must be something instinctive... Have a good weekend. Umart [umart13]
Yeah.. I wondered as well! HEHEHE Maybe we just don't like the music they played on. Thanks for the response, you have a nice day! [micahbrul]
Yes, i can Radio and tv both. Sometimes not on purpose. If its the radio, its usually on purpose. The tv is usually accidently. I guess when i lay down to watch tv i should always use the sleep timer. LOL. I have some CDs that are sounds of thunderstorms and things like that. When i worked a graveyard shift i found them very relaxing to sleep by. As well as the radio turned down very low. [jdyrj777]
Thanks for the response,have a nice day head.! [micahbrul]
I usually turn the music on TO go to sleep. I don't like the quiet when I go to bed at night, although I live on a busy street so is is rarely quiet, anyway. But I can sleep through just about any noise, except maybe a baby crying. Maybe even that if I know that the mother is there to care for the child. I had my phone ring several times the other morning and only heard it 2 times. I used to be a light sleeper all the time since I raised 4 children, but sometimes I can sleep through anything now that I am living alone. It seems that music would be soothing unless it is loud or of a heavy medal type and would put someone to sleep. I could sleep with any of it on. [idowrite72]
Yeah, slow music and mellow really gives a soothing sound that can make us fall asleep. Thanks for the response and have a nice day to you! [micahbrul]
Hello micahbrul, I also don't sleep with the radio on. I think it is a waste of energy. I am not used to sleeping with the music on, and I don't need a music to put me in sleeping mode. I usually listen to music when I am relaxing. When I am working or sleeping I don't listen to it. Music is really a mood enhancer and it help me also to be in the right mood. But once I'm in the mood, I don't have to keep it putting me in mood. Regards. ninjaninjaninja [robert19ph]
Well, people has really different moods. And I respect you for that. Thanks for the response! [micahbrul]
As a teenager, I had to have my radio on, beside my ear, in order o go to sleep. And it would go on all night, but at a very low volume, so it won't bother anyone else in the house. Now, I need quiet and peace to go to sleep.From time to time I listen to some classic music, or sound of waves, and that get's me calm down. Everything depends on the phase of the life you're going through, how much you have on your mind. And, everyone is different. [ladynetz]
Yeah, everybody is different from one another. And we have to respect it, right? Thanks for the response! cheers! [micahbrul]
Hi macahbrul, mee too also a music lover. i love to listen much very much than watching television. ya i want to sleep even the radio is on. take care. [vimaal]
