Er, the title pretty much explains. My wife listens to podcasts and falls asleep to them but I can’t not listen to a human voice so I listen to (ideally instrumental) music.
Anyone else? If so, what do you put on to drift away to?

Nothing. No music. No white noise (I absolutely hate white noise). Just silence
It’s true, no music is indeed music and this is a perfect answer.
I only listen to something if I’m having trouble turning off my thoughts. In those cases, I listen to the Let’s Read YouTube channel.
Same. I listen to the Sleep With Me Podcast. Something so soothing about that man’s droning voice.

Melodic death metal 🫣
i had a phase where any type of death metal would make me sleepy. not sure why
I can’t with music. I put a Scholar’s Lore video on youtube and I’m sleeping within 5 minutes even when I’m not trying to fall asleep.

Usually nothing. But if I need to it’s either Dead Can Dance or Ludovico Einundi.
Soma FM - Dronezone It’s pretty much perfect: free, no commercials, rain, ocean, droney. I actually listen to it most of the day, if I can.
Sometimes there are higher pitched drone tunes that aren’t as dreamy (for me)
Saint-Saëns “Carnival of the Animals”.
Hammock, psychedelic trance music, or there is a lucid dreaming playlist on YouTube Music I like.
ETA “Psybient”, there used to be a perfect playlist called psybient, that may work well as a search term to find that downbeat psychedelic trance music.
No way could I fall asleep to a podcast, but my husband plays Alan Watts explaining meditation, and that I sure can. Maybe it would be a middle ground for y’all - a guided meditation?
I prefer to read to sleep; but if it’s to be music, mellow children’s music or classical.
I declare that from now on Baby Shark is defined as mellow. Goodnight.
Bonus nightmare points: Kars4kidz is mellow too, by the way.
Mell… low… songs doot doot de doot de doo
Rain white noise
Pink Floyd Division Bell or YouTube has some decent black screen music options. I really like black screen classical music mix, but sometimes it’s hard to find.
I listen to this on loop for 12 hours. every day for the last 270 years.
Rainfall, thunderstorms, rivers. That kind of thing!
