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.

    Totally. I recently had to have an IV in me for 6 hours and I have a severe needle phobia that often leads to panic attacks and fainting. This time I played chess puzzles for 6 hours and was totally lost in it.
