I don't think music is the right milieu in this case, although you will
get tongue-in-cheek suggestions, but I can recommend reading three books
which I used in graduate school to combat insomnia: Burton's Anatomy
of Melancholy, Pepys' Life of Johnson, and any edition of the Larousse
Gastronomique.  There are other good candidates as well, for instance,
Tristram Shandy.  I guarantee that one of the three above volumes will
work.
