Before you want to buy pills or powders you need to address
- How stressed are you?
- How many stims or caffeine do you intake a day?
- What are the day to day activities like?
- Do you practice self meditation or yoga?
- How do you wind down at night before bed?
** Turn down lights, music, turn off phone, stop watching movies or TV
Stress is a chronic killer notorious for high cortisol levels. In order to get cortisol lower, you need to address the root cause of the problem. If you don't it doesn't matter how many sleep aids, KSM-66, or supplements you take. They can't supplement or fix a long-term issue.
Some people take in a lot of caffeine per day which raises cortisol, there could be an easy way to reduce stress and cortisol
Are you constantly on the go? If so.. you need to find time for yourself (5-10 minutes a day ) to self reflect, calm down, collect your thoughts to help take tension off your shoulders.
If you sleep bad at night, it is most likely you don't wind down or get into a natural pattern before bed which can be an issue. A lot of people watch TV, listen to music, play on their phones right up to bed which is not helping them while trying to get a proper night of rest.
Now I could be wrong on all of these, but these are VERY common when it comes to high cortisol, stress, and elevated levels. If any of those are an issue for you. You need to start there.
