Brings nothing new to our knowledge. Music is dreary.There seems to be little variation in tone or structure between each piece. I cannot really understand how the music can contribute to sleep other than by boring you.

Good sleep music and some helpful tips. I didn’t realize that the course would be about 90% music. I was hoping for more detailed guidance about how to develop a healthy sleep ritual.
