Some preliminary studies suggest that a chamomile dietary supplement might be helpful for generalized anxiety disorder. (www.nccih.nih.gov)
 

There’s very little information on chamomile’s effect on insomnia. A 2019 review of six small studies included only one study on insomnia. That one study found that chamomile had no benefit for insomnia. The same 2019 review looked at five studies on chamomile’s effect in non-insomnia populations. The review concluded that chamomile might help improve the individual component of sleep quality over a 4-week period in people without insomnia.

Turmeric has some potential (mander.xyz)
 

Would have rather posted this to a neutropic sub, but we don't have one on the Lemmyverse, but loosely related

There is no scientific evidence that curcumin reduces inflammation, as of 2020.[10][11][45] There is weak evidence that turmeric extracts may be beneficial for relieving symptoms of knee osteoarthritis,[46] as well as for reducing pain and muscle damage following physical exercise

Targeting Aging with Metformin (TAME) (mander.xyz)
 

In the past 5 years, there have been several clinical trials investigating the potential anti-aging effects of metformin in humans. One notable study is the Targeting Aging with Metformin (TAME) trial, which aims to test whether metformin can delay or prevent age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and cognitive decline. The trial has completed its planning phase and is currently recruiting participants. Other studies have also investigated the potential benefits of metformin for specific age-related conditions, such as cognitive impairment and frailty. While more research is needed to establish the safety and efficacy of metformin as an anti-aging therapy, these studies suggest that it holds promise as a potential tool to promote healthy aging.

Nicotine is unusual in comparison to most drugs, as its profile changes from stimulant to sedative with increasing dosages, a phenomenon known as "Nesbitt's paradox" after the doctor who first described it in 1969

So if you know with 100% certain you're about to be tortured for 5 minutes, not a bad idea to get hammered. But if they wait til you sober up a little then torture you, it'll be worse.

How people wake up is associated with previous night’s sleep together with physical activity and food intake in c/appliedpsychology@mander.xyz

Okay, lower blood glucose responses is like legumes and high blood glucose response is like sugary cereals?

Which sounds like that backs my hypothesis that sugary cereals are still barely fit for human consumption

Could you explain what "breakfast rich in carbohydrate, and a lower blood glucose response following breakfast" means?

Like so I should eat sugary cereals on the morning?

Lower blood glucose responses?

Hot showers haven't ever worked for me. But I have slept in bathtubs filled with hot water.

[–] ZafiraHUN@mander.xyz 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

tested lots of different techniques during that time and the only one that I think had some effect was doing cardio that was intense enough to leave me physically exhausted.

What works ish for me semi consistently that isn't drugs when having severe trouble, sitting in front of a personal heater til I overheat and that makes it easy for me to fall asleep, but it only works in the winter and i have to be naked so sweat evaporates.

Thankfully it’s not as contagious as covid and we already have vaccines for it.

It's debateable how contagious it is https://mander.xyz/post/210541, both might be airborne
