It's tough to fall asleep to silence. Silence has refrigerator noises, house creaks, distance barking dogs, neighbours cars and overhead flights of jets and helicopters embedded in it. True silence is very difficult to hear even at 10 pm at night in cities. The masking alternatives I've used are the "Beautiful Instruments" channel on DirectTV, Coast to Coast with George Noori, earplugs, binaural beat CD's, and isochronic tone CD's. And who (over 50) hasn't experienced the white noise of the local TV station having gone off the air? (That doesn't happen anymore in the age of CableTV).
I've never zeroed in on straight piano music but it occurs to me that that could work well too, especially with A=432 hz. Certainly Bach's set of Tocatta's and Fugues, and Baroque music in general was actually designed with sleep in mind! Here is an hour of piano improv I'll try over the next several nights. You might try it too-- and just maybe it will double as a "learn to play piano in your sleep" method that has that added benefit. Who knows? I lost track of the "learn while sleeping" craze decades ago. Maybe it's time to revisit that concept.
