💤 **[When composer Max Richter premiered *Sleep* in 2015, the concert lasted all night with audience members reclining in beds.](https://music.apple.com/us/album/sleep/1452629309)** That’s because it’s supposed to put you to sleep. The 8-hours piece last long enough for a full night’s sleep. Richter worked with a sleep neuroscientist while composing it. [Here’s a CBS Sunday Morning segment](https://youtu.be/USGaszNg2po) on his New York concert.
