If you not play go sleep in bed with teddy bear in hand. Around 8-9h all time of sleeping. It will make you -1 lvl.
You can use hookah in Den too, but need +200 affluence in artefacts to go inside.

First, don't go AFK. There is a passive insanity gain such that if you do nothing that either adds or removes insanity, you'll go up a level of madness about every 4 hours. If you spent a few hours farming and didn't study any inspirationals, you probably were on the verge of getting a level from that. Depending on how long you were afk, you could have gotten a couple more.

Remember to do things that reduce your insanity while you play: Periodically work on your skills, cook some regen food over a fire place, frikadels are a good regen food and use a sharp stick (whittling reduces insanity), do some gardening, pick flowers and catch butterflies while you are out foraging, etc.

To reduce the madness, you can smoke the hookah in the den if you have a set of clothes with 200 or more influence, you can buy some tobacco and smoke it ( that can fail and works better on higher levels so you might use it to get from 4 to 3), get a teddy bear and sleep at least 8 hours with it to guarantee removing one level at a time.
