If you want to relax, you might take a warm bath, drink some milk and get into bed....take nice deep breaths. Concentrate on each muscle, imagine them relaxing.

Also, if you have sleep issues, you might try chamomile tea or Benedryl.

Good luck.

L-Theanine works for mental calmness. You can buy it at a health food store.

Also Bach's Rescue Remedy. It tastes like alcohol but I find in a pinch, it helps lower my anxiety levels.

Exercise also helps. Do jumping jacks or cross crawling. Cross crawling makes your brain use both sides and helps lower anxiety. It's a simple exercise of lifting your knees and crossing your opposite hand over to tap the knee.

Theanine, GABA, magnesium, valerian, kava, chamomile and B complex vitamins all have calming qualities. Theanine is found in green tea and you can get theanine in supplement form. Green tea does have caffeine though, so if you want to drink it at night, get a decaf version. You can find other teas with ingredients like chamomile, passionflower, hops, lemon balm and valerian. If you've never tried ordering supplements from Vitacost, their selection and prices are good. Here's a coupon you can use.
