If your stress is recurring, seek psychological help. If it's only a sometimes thing, experiment on what works for you. Does your stress physically manifest yourself? Aches, increased heart rate, digestive issues, can't eat/over eat? Because that has to be handled different than if your mind is just racing all night long.
The thing I find most helpful is to listen to soothing music, preferably with a slow beatrate and without distracting vocals. My favourite relaxing soundtrack will always be Flower by Vincent Diamante (It's the soundtrack to a video game, but dear gosh is it ever beautiful. You should try to look it up on YouTube). I find this works best if I can also keep my mind on one train of though while I listen to it (and a train of thought unrelated to my problems). I usually attempt to plot out one of the stories I'm working on, or just puzzle on randomly about ponies or some other happy thing. Sometimes I try and think of what the music reminds me of, and come up with some sort of scene it would fit.Tea also helps a lot (non-caffeinated, obviously. My favourites are chamomile with honey and mint with a spoonful of sugar). And curling under an electric blanket.
