Pain Management Did you know that music can help manage pain? Hospitals often use music therapy to help patients cope with pain.

Create a calming bedtime playlist to help you drift off to dreamland. The stress is on soothing music.

It’s a wonderful show but I’ll watch during the daytime from now on.
