I've gone through two burnouts in my career. The first time around, I tried CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy), with limited results. Recently, I followed the Huberman protocol for sleep [1] and daily tools [2], with profound results. Recovery time was respectively 12 months (CBT) and 3 months (Huberman). YMMV [1] [LINK] [2] [VIDEO]

I'll start with things that really worked for me last year: I began every day with a short daily walk in the morning. 15 minutes. It's a fairly easy goal so it's possible to stick to it, and it made a surprising difference in my mood. Got this one from this episode of the Huberman podcast [1]. Then I changed from doing hot yoga/HIIT three times a week to doing it daily at 6:30am, which requires going to bed at 10pm. This was harder to get in to, but I suffered for a couple weeks and it's now a habit. This year, I'm continuing with the above but adding cold showers. Note that these are all physical rather than mental improvements, but their impact on my mental health has been huge. [1] [VIDEO]

Temp minimum and productivity are regulated by your circadian rhythm and there are many works on the topic. E.g., [LINK] , [LINK] . You also may want to listen to Dr. Andrew D. Huberman, a neuroscientist and tenured professor in the Department of Neuroscience at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He perfectly describes how it works in one of his YouTube videos: [VIDEO] Will be great to hear back if you try this approach!
