Good idea: music to relieve anxiety

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-03-music-minutes-ease-anxiety.html

A short music session may help ease anxiety and researchers say there's a "sweet spot" for how long to listen.

A clinical trial found that listening to specially designed music for 24 minutes can significantly reduce anxiety symptoms. The music was paired with auditory beat stimulation (ABS), a type of sound pattern meant to influence brain activity.
