Are you physically fit/do you do any physical activity on a regular basis?
How does your nutrition look?
Do you do drugs?

Doctor, I remember it might have something to do with heart and blood pressure.
If thats the case, you will want some meds on it.

I go to the gym 1-2 days a week for about 2-3 hours.

I don't do drugs.

My diet is mediocre. I eat a lot of good stuff but have a sizable amount of junk in there too.

I also almost never wake up rested unless I sleep until I wake up naturally. Even then, I feel mediocre at best.

I am just sick of not feeling awake. I know I was fucked up when I woke up and thought "wow! I can't wait to go back to bed this evening!"

My best guesses are either some deficiency (minerals or else) or some heart/blood pressure issue.

In case of a deficiency, if your diet is not too bad, it may have several sources:
- you just don't get enough of that lacking mineral/vitamin/... in.
- your diet includes something that blocks certain minerals from being absorbed. For example, consuming dairy may lead to iron deficiency. Gluten sensitivity is another possibility, but dairy is more common. You could test this by simply avoiding any dairy for say 2 weeks and then consuming a moderate amount of it.
For me, dairy was the problem. I used to be tired all day long until I drastically decreased my dairy intake. Athletic performance has also gone way up.
- more complex physiological reasons a doctor might know of

What are some signs of lactose intolerance? I drink milk all the time. But is it possible I am intolerant? People have said I would know if I was because even a single glass of milk would fuck your guts up.

I also can't survive without milk. All my snacks and shit friend on it. My fav snack is peanut butter and gram crackers in milk.

My favorite breakfast is cereal and milk...

Just as with gluten, most people aren't intolerant but many are sensitive. I'm not dairy intolerant either, I'll just fart disgustingly and be bloated all day after eating it.
Signs could include acne, inability to put on muscle, ... basically anything that's linked to hormones. Either the hormones contained in dairy can lead to some symptons, or the fact that dairy can "clogg up" the digestive track leads to your body not absorbing certain nutrients and not handling its own hormones very well. E.g.: milk is actually food for baby animals. Therefore, it contains large amounts of growth hormones. So, if you can consume dairy without problems, Whey protein will get you big. These growth hormones can lead to acne (note that you normally get that in the period of your life where you produce a lot of growth hormones yourself: puberty).

I totally get the part about dairy being key in your diet. I used to drink more than a liter of milk for my whole life, plus countless yogurts, cottage cheese, etc. However its been over a year and I don't miss it at all. Only way to find out if that's it is to avoid it for 1 or 2 weeks and then consume a decent amount.

Including whey protein?

i have the same thing, except i have these episodes accompanied by extremely long naps during the day. i have borderline anemia and my body doesn't process folic acid which causes me to be extremely tired so i have to take l-methyfoltate for it. i'm still always exhausted and have those bouts of droopiness so i was going to get a sleep study done soon because at this point i'm starting to suspect narcolepsy.
