SLEEP BY MAX RICHTER
Max Richter’s original Sleep is both awe-inspiring and overwhelming, given its eight-hour run-time. The app reframes his compositions to help you focus on work, meditate or, yes, fall asleep. You’ll need a paying Spotify account if you’re on Android, or Spotify/Apple Music on iOS.

Whether your idea of bliss is a beach, a field or waves crashing against Scottish cliffs, Portal will help you get away from the real world for a few precious moments.
