I should be asleep but can't due to being in a high adrenaline situation (escalated roadrage, not fighting) couple hours ago. Was my first time in such situation so any tips for dealing with high adrenaline situations afterwards?

Believe it or not, Tetris. It’s an excellent distraction and supposedly lessens trauma.

Similarly, my go-to is chess puzzles. I got a subscription on the chess.com app and just get lost in the puzzles

Just to plug the totally free version here: lichess.org

I love chess puzzles too and chess.com is a really nice app but are we chess dorks super rich or something? Their pricing is crazy IMO.

Edit: .org not .com ...
