Recently ran into this with an artist that did a cover of a song by a popular band from 40ish years ago and the cover artist had the gal to date their song to earlier than the original so it looked like they were the original when you searched for the song. The only clue to their trickery was to drill down into the individual song credits and the fan that they were a no name artist that self-labelled their genre as 80s rock, like no artist from the actual era would. Spotify will outright refuse to fix any of this bad metadata and tells you to contact their label, as if that will ever work.

This is like a Far Side comic in that I'm sure it's actually funny, but I have no idea why.
Have you read "South of the Pumphouse" by Les Clay pool? It's not non-fiction, but it was the first book I thought of when I saw NOFX in your comment.
Does "The Electric Kool aid Acid Test" count as non-fiction?
I've fallen asleep during the third act extended fight scene of the last 5 Marvel movies I've been too that weren't Deadpool. Same vibes. But, I still wouldn't use them to try to sleep.
But if you're looking for relaxing, echo-y, and resonant check out Brian Eno's ambient stuff. Start with "Music for Airports" and go on from there to some of the others if you like it.
If you're stuck on opera, maybe you'll have interesting dreams trying to fall asleep to The Magic Flute. I'd probably just get the tunes stuck in my head.
Also, the genre of modal jazz is rather slower and more resonant than its more hip and excitable cousins. Might be worth exploring. Syncopation would keep my mind to active though.
Does it really? The whole group of main characters is a bunch of stereotypes, over the top affectations, and worn out tropes. This shows the group explicitly accepting Lamar for who they are and celebrating their accomplishments with a level of physical contact and intimacy that literally was making homophobes at the time cringe.
Yeah, lots of movies from that era are problematic now. I'm not going to apologize for them, trivialize the problematic parts, or forget about them. All of those characters were gross parodies of stereotypes and that type of humor is no longer palatable to many people. But, this particular scene felt relatively devoid of any actual malice.
The Revenge of the Nerds technique?

When you wrestle a pig, you both get dirty and the pig enjoys it. Some people aren't worth arguing with. Down voting because a comment adds nothing to the discussion also often gets mistaken for down voting because you disagree, especially if the person being down voted is a troll just looking for ANY response to feed their need to fight.
"Sensors" sounds like a magical solution that hasn't been thought through, but the marketing guys already sold it and won't listen to the engineers explaining how difficult it is to actually build such a thing.
The color of Idris Elba's skin and eyes had absolutely fuck all to do with why that movie was fucking awful.
Try gaffer tape instead. It blocks all the light. It doesn't reflect much light at all. It generally sticks to anything. You can get it in a variety of colors. It doesn't leave as much sticky residue when removed or repositioned. I've not encountered many surfaces (expect painted surfaces) that it actually damages when carefully removed. I use black gaffer tape on basically all my electronic stuff: one strip to cover the whole light, two strips a razor's edge width apart so that I can still see the indicator if I try but otherwise 99.9% of the light is blocked, or a strip with a folded over tab at one end for the displays I want to block %100 of the light %90 of the time.
Duct tape, duck tape, electrical tape, masking tape all really suck unless you love that sticky gunky residue they inevitably leave on everything. Gaffer tape isn't perfect, but it's much better for this kind of semi-temporary light blocking without too much surface damage kind of job.
