Anything from Explosions in the Sky. They have some not so calm moments in their songs which are built up to. But overall the music is very relaxing and can definitely be slept to.
Their stuff is all downtempo/ambient, has a sense of nostalgia to it.
I'd highly recommend their album "Campfire Headphase". Peacock Tail and Chromakey Dreamcoat are from it. The entire album is frankly wicked dandy and picking a favourite song is difficult.

Autechre is similar, but a little bit weirder/harsher/darker. Their considered IDM/Ambient. Still, their general sound is smooth flowing and easy listening. I think its suitable for falling asleep to music.
Their songs are all 6-11minutes long, so their ideal for playing and not having to change songs often.

Liquid Dnb is very nice too, like Logistics - The Trip or what the best of the best is Outmode - Dark Journey and I Remember by Deadmau5. Check out the suggestions on juno.com in the genres downbeat/ambient, Nu Jazz, Reggae and Funk.
Got trouble falling asleep, well then, I got a challange for you. The band (or whatever you wanna call 'em) Juno Reactor made an about 61 minute long song. I have never yet managed to listen to the whole song before I fall asleep.
It's some strange shit, but I like it. Here is the first part on youtube, others are to be found there. (But I keep the whole song on me Ipod) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zZ5y-mHKQU

the thing that wakes you up is not the noise but the change in noise. So if you have loud isaac shepard music up, you will still go to sleep (ofc) but if you put that thing on sleep and it turns off in 90 minutes. itll wake you up. Which is the reason why im up at 3:58 AM EST. I put isaac shepard music on too loud. :/
I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
