E. Spaceman:
I recorded myself playing that on the Kazoo. It came out great and does help me go to sleep.

KharBevNor:
Man, I kinda hate how Merzbow has just become a hipster joke.

If I fall asleep to music (the BBC World Service often does me) it'll probably be to the selected (ie more somnolent) works of artists like:

Bauhaus
Black Sabbath
Blackmore's Night
Bob Dylan
British Sea Power
Burzum
Current 93 (All of 'All the Pretty Little Horses' is incredible for sleeping)
The Cocteau Twins
Dead Can Dance
Death in June
Finntroll (Basically just the Visor Om Slutet EP)
Gae Bolg
G/Z/R
Lacrimosa
Mortiis
Orange Goblin
Scientist
Sol Invictus
Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows
Strawbs
Swans
Tann-Hauser Gate
Scott Walker

...and so forth.

WHAT?
First, someone steals my Merzbow joke. Fine. But now he's a fucking hipster joke?
Oh man, I cant wait untill he hears about it and comes back from the grave to skullfuck em' Japanoise style.

Gryff:
Generally I can't sleep if I'm listening to music because I start listening too intently, and the music, not the sleeping, becomes my main priority.

However, recently I have been putting on Mogwai's 4 Satin EP at low volume when I go to bed. It's three tracks at 30 minutes, with the last song breaking down into a solid wave of distortion. By the time track three finishes I'm already out cold.

I used to listen to Kid A in bed a lot (I used to listen to it a lot full stop), and 'Treefingers' was great to sleep to (for obvious reasons I guess), but once 'Optimistic' started I would be jolted back into consciousness. Then I would fall asleep again at the end of 'Motion Picture Soundtrack' and the damn "secret track" bit would wake me up.

So maybe put 'Treefingers' on repeat for sleep?
