DIET Make sure you raise your potassium, calcium, and magnesium, which are all calming minerals.

WALKING Walking is an excellent way to reduce stress.

INTERMITTENT FASTING and KETO (ketogenic diet) can also reduce your body's stress and enhance sleep, not to mention enhance your body's ability to absorb minerals, which then enhance sleep.
