If you cannot eliminate sources of stress, you will need to find ways to better manage your stress. In addition to the previous recommendations, this can include things such as:

1. Taking stress reducing supplements. Supplements such as L-theanine, ashwagandha, antioxidants, and various adaptogens have been found in double-blind trials to reduce stress and enhance sleep. You should check the double-blind literature to see which of these supplements may be appropriate for you. I recommend looking for p-values less than 0.01, as studies using a 0.05 threshold often fail to replicate.

2. Seeking help. You may want to consider seeking professional help, such as a medical doctor, psychologist, or psychiatrist. They will be able to provide further recommendations, and perhaps even provide medication if necessary. Short of that, you may want to seek help from a friend or relative, who may have more insight into your situation. If you cannot eliminate the stress yourself, a friend may be able to help you do so, or simply help you manage your stress better.
