Well, I am not a doctor, but I have never been harmed by going to sleep to
music.  I sleep like a rock and am fully rested.  What about playing music
when you are doing that other thing in bed? (Strains of Bolero come wafting
to my inner ear.....)

I have to disagree.  I don't see any reason not to use music (and why
not good music? would we rather have BAD music implanted in our sleeping
subconscious?) for theraputic reasons.  I think that we are leaning towards
snobbery when we make statements like the above.  We whine that so few
people support the arts and then we make them too exclusive for ordinary
people to enjoy.
