What kind of music helps you fall asleep?

Slow music, with no lyrics and no sudden changes. That's exactly why the pieces on this page were chosen: soft layers of sound and a very calm pace.

Should I leave it on all night?

No need. It's better to set the timer to 30 or 45 minutes: the sound will fade down little by little, then stop.
