Is it unusual to fall asleep to metal music?

Question

When people listen to music before bed, they generally listen to something soft and easy to listen to.

Metal on the other hand is not by any means soft or that easy to listen to.. How can people comfortably fall asleep to it?

Answer 1

I fall asleep to metal. There was a time where I couldn't fall asleep unless I had my iPod on and was listening to some either heavy metal or old rock. Then my habit was broke when I dropped my iPod in a puddle one day and was forced to teach myself how to sleep without my "comfort".

Answer 2

when you're tired you can fall asleep to anything, especially if thats what you are used to listening to

now the other side of that, its not healthy at all to fall asleep to metal music or even the TV, your brain is still being stimulated and you will not get the REM sleep you desperately need  

Answer 3

I do. I don't know why, but it HELPS me to fall asleep if I hear heavy metal. But sometimes my dreams are weird.  

Answer 4

I fall asleep listening to metal music all the time. I dont know how, but it is kinda weird. i just lay down and listen to it with the lights out and it just kinda happens.  

Answer 5

i think that they fall asleep to metal music is just because they like it so much that they can fall asleep with it cuz wen im obsessed with a any type of song , i can fall asleep with it

Answer 6

As a kid, I would put headphones on and plug in the Offspring, Metallica, Korn,  KISS, or other hard rock / metal bands.

I fell asleep to these easily because it blocked out all other sounds around me, and I enjoyed it.

My parents tended to argue a lot at night, so classical music wasn't enough to block out their stupid fights. Hard rock and metal blocked out all other sounds, including their idiocy, so it helped me sleep.

Now I still have nights where I can't fall asleep unless I put some hard rock or metal music on. It distracts me from my thoughts and I get pulled into the music.
