How can the central nervous system be calmed?

Answer 1

By stimulating GABA-ergic neurons, among other populations of inhibitory neurons.

This is usually accomplished by depressants, such as benzodiazepines or barbiturates. Alcohol has the same effect.

The nervous system already naturally does this, but the aforementioned drugs (I'm sure there are more) can artificially produce that effect, with a dose determined by a licensed healthcare professional, of course. ;)

The central nervous system can be calmed through various methods including deep breathing exercises, meditation, mindfulness practices, progressive muscle relaxation, engaging in physical activity, getting enough sleep, reducing caffeine and alcohol intake, practicing yoga, spending time in nature, listening to calming music, and seeking professional help if needed.
