I've noticed that I start feeling tired usually 5-6pm, gradually getting more tired until I feel completely exhausted and slow-thinking, peaking around 7-9pm, before becoming less tired and more alert from 10pm-1pm, when I might actually end up not feeling like sleeping unless I notice it's getting late and then go lie down (though once I lie down at this point, I fall asleep pretty quickly).

That seems so weird to me. Why would I get really, really tired for a few hours and then get that kind of second wind for a few hours afterward?

During that first bout of tiredness, I'm often not actually sleepy - a lot of the time, I can lie down and just won't fall asleep. The few times I've tried, I've just lied in bed feeling exhausted with maybe the slightest headache, not being in the mood to think about anything - don't want to read, play games, talk to anyone or really do anything that requires even a little thought. Does anyone else ever feel like that?

I work usually 9-5 and don't exercise at all. Running is like my favorite thing, but I seem to have a morton's neuroma that gets really angry every time I try to take up running. Ordered some toe spaces, though, so maybe those will help and I'll be able to run again.

I had a cold this week and was taking mucinex D, the one with pseudophedrine, and I had energy all day. Made me feel better and more energetic with a cold than when I don't have a cold.

I do get 100mg of caffeine around 8-9am, and another around 10am-12pm. Maybe once or twice a week, I'll have a third 100mg in the afternoon. Maybe getting rid of the caffeine and seeing if the evening tiredness goes would be worth trying.
