Math burnout

I’m a junior in applied math taking courses in abstract algebra, differential equations, and probability at the same time. I’m also doing research and TAing for a Python course.

Every day around 4pm I just crash. I’m getting 8hr of sleep a night but I’m not eating great. Math is hard and while I enjoy it a lot of the time, I’m constantly feeling behind, wondering about career prospects, and not sure if what I’m doing is right for me.

I want to go to graduate school, but I have to figure out how to manage this better because I know things will only get harder. Any advice would be appreciated.
