Well, a good night's sleep would have been good, but that ship has sailed.
And since this is the second time you're taking it, you know what you're facing.

If it helps, I'll tell you about my experience.
First, I'm not GRE-smart. I did very well on the Verbal, but all the math stuff was just unrecognizable to me. I had studied, but the math section didn't look like anything I had studied.

Luckily, it's multiple-choice. Instead of wasting time trying to actually do the math, I just used process of elimination on the answers. I don't have my final scores handy, but I did good enough to get accepted after only one try on the GRE.

As for the writing, there was no way to prepare for that; I had no idea what I would have to write about, and once I read the assignment, I knew I didn't possess any knowledge related to the subject, even though as I recall, I didn't need to actually know anything to write it, I just had to answer/address every point in the instructions.

I honestly think the writing portion is just to see how well you can write a totally bullshit response to a question you aren't really prepared to answer. IIRC I got a 4 out of 6 on the writing.

In the end, I think the only thing I did well was was that I beat the clock. I don't know if that is factored into final scores, but I finished the whole math section, and obviously the verbal section was cake.

I doubt anything you studied will turn out to be that useful. Just get through all the sections, don't dwell on any one problem too long, and don't overthink the writing portion. Just answer it, even if the gist of your answer is "I have no fucking idea."

EDIT: Ah, as it turns out, I did have my scores handy. 560 verbal (sounds bad? is it? IDK) 580 math (also sounds bad but IDGAF) and 4.0 verbal.
