Answer:
... just go for a run or get some other form of excercise. I know it sounds strange. but its because you arn't getting a full sleep. Your body needs to be both mentaly tired and physicly tired to get a full sleep. So if you go for a good run, or go swimming or something you will sleep alot better...and if your getting a good sleep then you would be less tired... its not an over night thing...it would probably take about a week or two...but it helps
It could be anemia... which means you're low on iron. You can get iron from tablets, some meats and green vegetables
you also might have mono.. any sore throats at all, they would come and go.
Be sure you're eating enough calories. If you take in fewer than 1,200 and you exercise on top of this, you're not eating enough. If you exercise daily, you should consume around 1,800 calories, never fewer than 1,200. Try a brisk jog in the morning to jump start your metabolism. Avoid lots of carbs and sugars, they tend to give you a bolt of energy, but then a big crash. Eat snacks in the mid morning and mid afternoon to regulate your blood sugar. If this doesn't help, see your doctor and make sure you're not anemic, diabetic or hypoglycemic. All of these have effects of fatigue and low energy. Also, take a daily multivitamin to supplement any nutrients you're not getting from food. Best of luck!
The coffee, energy drinks and other things can just mask a problem. You could be having blood sugar or thyroid problems or something to that effect. You should visit your doctor for some simple testing to see if it is something easily fixed.
You might have mononucleosis, otherwise known as mono. Its a virus (?) whose symptoms include a severe lack of energy, and a propensity for sleeping a ton. You should go to a doctor and ask them to test you for it.

Also, you should exercise at least 3 times a week. Its good for your body and it will make sleeping a lot easier, since your muscles will be tired. Another thing to try is getting 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, or 9 hours of sleep per night, almost exactly. The REM cycle lasts for an hour and a half, so you get the most rest if you wake up after, as opposed to during, one of these cycles. Hope this helps! And also, the energy drinks and stuff aren't good for you anyway, so try to stop that. Get outside and do something.
SOME DOCTORS RECOMEND TO TAKE A LITTLE NAP AFTER MEALS BUT WHAT REALLY HELPS IS TO SLEEP 8 HOURS BUT ALSO YOU CAN TRY A RELAXING TEA OR ALSO YOU CAN TRY DRINKING AN ORANGE TEA WITH HONEY INSTEAD OF SUGAR THAT WILL HELP YOU TO SLEEP BETTER.
get your thyroid checked. It can screw up your metabolism as well
