By all means comrade, supply UBI, universal healthcare, and quality housing for free.

The reason I was stressed in college is because I didn’t have those things and I needed to work exceptionally hard in a cutthroat stack ranked program to stay afloat. Once I was making $100k+ (I was living in SV) and had a financial cushion instead of barely scraping by - I didn’t have as severe of sleeping issues. Same with getting a partner. It was nice to share the bed with someone instead of being alone for 26 years.

Doctors prescribe stuff because that shit isn’t possible to fix by them or nearly anyone else on an individual level. It requires systematic changes to our entire economy (and dating economy for the relationship part).
