I should be asleep but can't due to being in a high adrenaline situation (escalated roadrage, not fighting) couple hours ago. Was my first time in such situation so any tips for dealing with high adrenaline situations afterwards?

That situation is over. Whatever they did to you, or threatened to do, or whatever you did to them, or threatened to do, it's not happening now. You're in your home and you're safe. The door is locked. Your music, books, food, whatever, are here. Do other things. You notice that you're still upset about something that is not actually happening now. It's actually okay to just distract yourself.
