No magic advice from me either.

I will say that as a pretty practical, science-minded person, I generally don't get into stuff that seems like woo pseudo-science. But years back I had an agreement with a neurofeedback practitioner (eeg biofeedback) to accept free treatment in exchange for giving her a journal of my experience. And I still believe it helped me quite a bit. It might be some of the same benefits of meditation, but I had never successfully been able to meditate before doing that.

Other than that, I've only got the same probably-trite-sounding drink plenty of water, get lots of sleep, try to keep up your physical activity levels... drink amino acid shakes...

Best of luck to you.

I was just posting about this too! What style of neurofeedback did your practitioner use? I've been working with someone who uses the EEGer system, and am curious about alternatives.
I don't remember the name, but I had headphones, and stuff stuck to my head with gel, and glasses that would flash lights through my closed eyelids. The part I remember most is it taught me how to "relax" parts of my brain in ways I hadn't before, and which I can do now on demand without any hardware.
