The biggest thing you can do is defend your sleep as much as possible and get into a strict sleeping regimen. Burnout in this industry is heavily driven by sleep deprivation. Apart from that - clean diet and some small amount of exercise every day.
The reality is you will be stressed out of your mind and your partners look the way they look for a reason.
