A number of people will probably tell you to be your own boss, try herbal remedies, change your sleeping habit, etc. And those are all really good answers. But let me suggest one other thing.

First off, if you think you are feeling burnout, you are. There is no checklist that makes burnout "real". It's how you feel about you. So, get with a counselor. Talk therapy is really valuable and absolutely excellent for helping with burnout. You may not need medication (though, you might) but a qualified mental health professional can help a lot.

I fought against this route for years. I wish I hadn't. When I started visiting my therapist, Rich, he really helped me a ton. I still have good days and bad days but now I recognize the issues and I can help to combat them.

Seeking professional help is a good thing!
