I love Morton Feldman, but...

If you put on one of his pieces after a big Sunday lunch, which of these epic-length, "made quiet to be played quiet" works will put you into the deepest, most peaceful slumber?

Took a nap to Crippled Symetry a few sundays ago. It was a fine nap.

Most of these have a 'rude awakening mid-nap' moment to keep you, literally, on your toes.

no For Philip Guston?

Indeed. I've got some work to and I'm just about to put it on, but I'll probably be done with the work before it ends (4 + a half hours btw).
