I find voices, listened to at a fairly low level, helps me to get to sleep
Normally listen to stuff like Hancocks Half Hour and I'm sorry I haven't a clue
I used to do that loads, speech radio is really nice. It stopped working when I was listening to Radio7 and used to get really involved in the plays. Kept me up listening to them. I have never been so honestly scared when after listening to Daphne Du Mauriers' 'The Birds', a fucking bat or something large and flappy flew straight into my window. Lights on all night after that one.
@ Buddha. I hope it helps. I should be taking my own advice, but I rarely do. When relaxing to the Blade Runner soundtrack, do so in a comfy chair, not a bed. It's a good start though.
Also, try getting stuff on CD and turning your computer off. When my laptops playing music, the temptation to just check my mail, or see whose online, or see if any of my feeds have updated is too tempting.

Trust me, the whole company is fucked. It's always been a bastardization of niche music with popular overtones, and now it's under GCap Media and is all going to shit. Look at what they did to XFM. Took a decent indie-rock radio station and are now trying to push it into indie/classic rock after Planet Rock died a death. Poor management at best, company suicide at worst.
