Highlights

Dr. Jeff Millstein, Penn Medicine

My wife and I like to take in an episode of a good show before bedtime.

Dr. Margaret Chisolm, Johns Hopkins Medicine

I like the Calm app’s sleep stories, especially Cillian Murphy’s “Crossing Ireland by Train,” a great combo of travelogue and CS Lewis’ “Narnia” tales. But a patient recently recommended @calm’s “The Shipping Forecast” and once I stopped laughing, I was out like a light!
