Study says just 90 seconds of this annoying daily habit could be a more effective stress-buster than exercise or sleep

I attended an ADHD conference called NeuroBloom this month, and while I was there, I learned a few incredible things about neurodiversity. But the best lesson by far? That just 90 seconds a day of humming — yes, humming — could soothe your nervous system and reduce stress.

During one talk, the key speaker pulled up a slide referring to a study on “simple humming” and the comparison with other stress-busting activities, such as exercise and sleep.
