Kuedo
Pinch and Shackleton

Indeed. Lullaby instrumentals to nod off to in the dark after a long days doing whatever it is you do during the long days that you need winding down from before sleep takes you to wherever it is sleep takes you in the dark. In that vein you can't also go past

Submotion Orchestra - Finest Hour

Difference being, these guys are real musos playing real instruments with a real vocalist who can really sing and engineered by an ex dubstepper who can really twiddle the knobs to sublime effect.
