Here's my first attempt at a Riley! Good luck!

The thought of my prefix brings many a smile;

Sit down, relax, or sleep for a while.

My infix is, mathematically;

One point six times five point eight, then less three.

My suffix is a speech, mad and long;

Which definitely is not a song.

Prefix

Rest is a synonym for relax, etc. and people look forward to it wistfully, with smiles on their faces.

Infix

Tau (twice pi) is approximately $6.28$, which is $1.6 * 5.8 - 3$. Clued in by @Omega Krypton.

Suffix

Rant, which is an unhappy speech

I think the answer is

Restaurant

The thought of my prefix brings many a smile;
Sit down, relax, or sleep for a while.

Rest - which means to relax and is pleasing for many people.

My infix is, mathematically;
One point six times five point eight, then less three.

Tau, as pointed out by WAF's comment on Omega Krypton's answer $$ (1.6 \times 5.8) - 3 = 6.28 \approx 2\pi \equiv \tau $$

My suffix is a speech, mad and long;
Which definitely is not a song.

Rant - A lengthy, angry impassioned speech.

Partial Answer:

Infix 1.6*5.8-3=6.28, which is 2*pi, so infix="pipi"
