quiet instrumental songs for reading in bed or falling asleep (picture: "Ophelia" by Friedrich Heyser)

classical music to study or sleep to

The Gymnopédies, published in Paris starting in 1888, are three piano compositions written by French composer and pianist Erik Satie.

The melodies of the pieces use deliberate, but mild, dissonances against the harmony, producing a piquant, melancholy effect that matches the performance instructions, which are to play each piece "painfully", "sadly" or "gravely".
