But I am interested in what a death metal sleeping app would actually look like. Of course I would have to ask if it's needed in the market place (does it create value), as opposed to just playing my Demented Ted playlist.

Yes, that was part of my initial point - to the extent that placebo exists, anything can be turned into a placebo with enough marketing. Avoiding blue light could help with sleep quality. Adding more blue light could help with sleep quality. Faith healing could help with sleep quality. Homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, ayurvedic medicine, leeching, blood-letting etc. If it only depends on you believing in it, but it does help, I would recommend the cheapest possible remedy that you can bring yourself to trust, and that doesn't have a proven anti-effect (coffee therapy for curing insomnia may not be an effective treatment).
I also detailed some skepticism of the placebo effect in another response here.
