^ good suggestion also. I find Debussy to be great for sleeping as well. Very calming and beautiful.

I personally can't fall asleep to (any) music, but here's some I think might help you:
 
Artist - Album
Liquid Mind (Chuck Wild) - Liquid Mind VIII Sleep
George Winston - December: Piano Solos
Randy Kartchner - Music for a Sunday Afternoon
Ulrich Schnauss - Far Away Trains Passing By
Yanni - (any of his)

Piano music, specially from Richard Clayderman.

 

[slytown]

Fennesz and Sakamoto
Brian Eno - Ambient 1-4.

 

[THAY BRAN]

Alva Noto & Ryuchi Sakamoto - Insen

As others have said:
 
Brian Eno - Ambient 1: Music for Airports
 
Also any other album from his "ambient" series. I like this album the best though.

It's not instrumental, but my go to sleep music (perfect napping music) is definitely the following two albums:
 
Chicane - Behind the Sun
Above & Beyond - Tri-State

Thanks for all the tips!
 
I hope this thread can continue.
 
Oh, and I wouldn't mind seeing more Jazz tips even though I know I didn't list any jazz tunes.
 
(I used to have Brooklyn Funk Essential's old Take the L Train (To 8 ave.) but sadly had to remove it due to the second trumpet solo waking me up.)

Solo piano mostly with some new age mixed.

If the above quote resonates with you, I highly recommend checking out Stephen Halpern's work; Spectrum Suite (later released at part of Chakra Suite) is a classic.
 

 

[Ynoskire]

Biosphere
Eluvium
Hammock
Labradford
Oren Ambarchi
Pan American
Sars of the Lid
William Basinski
 
I second Brian Eno and Fennesz

I only listen to music for sleep when I take naps, which is sort of a different atmosphere, but Joni Mitchell's Blue always does it for me.  Besides that, it's usually Chopin.  I'm trying to figure out if I fall asleep more easily with music I am familiar with or unfamiliar with.  Galaxie 500 is great but I've never tried falling asleep to them.
 
So yeah my two recommendations are Joni Mitchell and Frederic Chopin.  Oh yeah and I also enjoy Mount Eerie (Lost Wisdom with Julie Doiron and Fred Squire, and Wind's Poem).  Chopin's the only one of these that is instrumental though.
