Re: Music to help sleep...
It's said that Bach's Goldberg Variations were given as a gift to Count Keyserlingk so that Johann Gottlieb Goldberg (a student of Bach's) could play them to him on sleepless nights to help him sleep. Because of their repetition (being varations on the same ideas) they do serve well for this purpose.
I also favor Bach's Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord and Bach's Cello Sonatas.
