Of course, all of those other options are actually difficult in certain ways. 2+3+4+5 can all be expensive. 3+4 are stigmatized in many cultures. 2+5 require knowledge that not everyone has.

That said if you're having trouble calming down in the evening, assuming you see a doctor for routine physical examinations, you can discuss options with them. They will know this list and more, and occasionally they can convince your insurance to cover the cost of something. It's better than developing a substance habit.

2 also assumes you aren't disabled and/or working a physical job already.

Like right now, I work retail full time. 8 hours a day on my feet. If I exhaust myself too much working out after work, the next workday is going to be a bad time.
