misc doctors, why am i struggling with lethargy and headaches?

it's been like this for the last few days. i feel like someone who woke up after 5 hrs of sleep and tries to cope with caffeine but at 3pm, the crash comes.

but i've been sleeping for 8 hrs every night
0-50mg caffeine a day. for e.g. today it was just a decaf coffee in the early am
not dehydrated, been drinking enough water.

but i'm struggling to keep my eyes open after 1pm. and my head hurts too. wth.

srs.

When I was fat and out of shape, this was a fairly common thing for me. Now it never happens and I couldn't nap if I tried. Maybe get diet and fitness in order, then if it still happens get some blood testing done?

Caffeine withdrawals, or adrenal burnout from caffeine abuse. Get a full blood test, report back to the misc with results. I had multiple undiagnosed conditions that all my doctors missed and that I only discovered from googling the symptoms, later they were confirmed.

Iron or zinc deficiency?

It's terrific, right? So you know, I am in heaven."

Recently I've really cut back on junk food and smoking pot.

I'm noticing I sleep less, or in other words I have more energy.

I used to sleep 8 hours, sometimes more and taking naps, etc.

Now I have a ton of energy and sleep like 6 hours or so a night.

Just saying what helped me with a somewhat similar problem.
The billionaire and the beggar both have 24 hours in a day.

That's why grandma's apple pie rocks and yours sucks.
