I tend to play Radiohead pretty much late evening-night, and King Crimson's Red, and anything ambient or droning like Stars of the Lid.

But more often than not, it's moderately balladic stuff. Rock or otherwise. Like Modest Mouse - (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqHCpsxzg2M) Talking Shit, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eQNxgc9tDc) Missed the Boat, fun.'s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT-5NY83OYI) The Gambler, or, hell -- Rush's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi6CnjuexC0&feature=related) Bravado.

I like your choices, as they aren't too much different from mine. Radiohead's stuff is a must for me, Kid A particularly followed with In Rainbows. I also like to include (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDKOoWJbpng) Mr. Meeble. They're rather new but it's definitely chill. Boards of Canada is getting a little bit old now, but they end up on my playlist too.

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQpe0Iw6XiM) Vitamin String Quartet does wonders. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfEPvebGGJM) Feist. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uofx-I0TiOU) Royksopp, but only sometimes. That's a few things, but I'm looking to extend this collection.

1930's horror sound effects record is the only thing that keeps me going when the sun falls to the mountains.

Metallica by day, Alan Jackson by night!

Never knew anyone else did this

Listen to Satie and Chopin mostly at night, calm and beautiful.

I used to listen to Stone Temple Pilots Purple Album quite a lot when drifting off to sleep. The last song listed on the album is Kitchenware and Candy Bars. It's a pretty mellow song, usually making me finally fall asleep.

I used to wake up hearing something crazy though. (http://home.comcast.net/~presleycraig/My2ndalbum.wav) This song called "My Second Album" would be playing. It's not listed on the tracks, and it's not Stone Temple Pilots. I kept wondering who was fucking with my stereo, as I lived in Army barracks, and my room mate used to leave the door open quite frequently. So gazing at the track listing on the back of the CD, there's a picture of a cake with the words, "12 Gracious Melodies" written on it. Wow, that's lyrics of the weird song I keep hearing.

Turns out it's some dude infatuated with Johnny Mathis, and STP thought it fit their style for that album.

Now I typically don't listen to music while sleeping. But sometimes a good dose of Tchaikovsky goes a long way in relaxing me. After dark, I am also caught listening to 80s pop hits when I need energy. Something like (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waacof2saZw) EMF- Unbelievable

Spiritualized - Lazer Guided Melodies.

I fell asleep to that for years, it never disappointed. Hang on, is that a good thing....?

Minimal brassy Techno or Doom Jazz - like Bohen.

For some reason, I've been putting on Pandora's trip-hop channel at night, not paying any attention to the artists, or marking songs. Just letting it play in the background. I went through a phase where I listened to Symphony X all the time at night, then I realized it's possible that they suck, so they're on hold until I can re-evaluate said potential suckage.

They suck.
