Tidal is in the right position to be a solution but it's recommendations, playlists and UI all need improvement. They're not useless but fall well short of what they're capable of.
To expand on that, I should note that crafting playlists for others is hard. A large selection of playlists is the way to go and maybe a voting system.
I think Tidal's playlists are curated by their users - which is good. But given the size of Tidal's userbase, the selection of playlists is thin. IDK why that is; I haven't tried to make my own playlist.
I searched for sleep playlists on tidal and found 2. One seemed like it's creator had never experienced sleep. Some of the tracks would have made decent alarms.
For a free discovery system, music-map is pretty good. I used Gnoosic long ago but it's primitive. I don't know what else is out there.
