Okay, so my roommate snores. Really, really fucking badly. I'd just use earplugs, but I'd never hear my alarm in the morning. Finals are coming up in a few weeks and I need to get solid sleeping hours. I already have artists like Emancipator, Bonobo, Boards of Canada, Sigur Ros, Pretty Lights, etc... and they do the job somewhat, but I'm looking for some recommendations on really ambient music that'll help me sleep easier. It's become a really big problem for me, so I come here for assistance.

Thanks!

Rush. "Tears" does a pretty good job.

Okay this is going to sound odd but to help me fall asleep it's not a certain genre of music but instead music I used to listen to when I was younger that my parents would play. Music my parents would put on always reminds me of those times (no troubles, good times) and helps me relax if I think about them.

My dad would always play Bob Marley (which obviously helps anyway) on hot summer days when I was off school so that's often what I think about when I hear him.
My mom would play The Chieftains or Van Morrison or Lyle Lovett after she picked my up from daycare and would start making dinner.

To help me sleep it isn't the genre but the memories I start to think about when I hear the music.

I dunno.

If we are diverging from music.. a fan and some rain.
