As some others below mentioned, I suggest getting in some exercise. Sitting in front of a computer and coding/debugging/yelling at the computer all day gets a bit stressful and its probably wears you out. Even a short 15 minute morning routine worked great to to get me going to a have a good productive day.

I am somewhat in a similar "lack or energy situation". I used to be very good about having consistent exercise schedule, I felt great and productive during coding. Then about a month ans a half ago I have significantly increased the amount of free time I spend on my side project which resulted in the sacrifice of exercise, a more destabilized sleep cycle, and more stress.

The first 3 weeks after a change of schedule were ok, but then I was starting to feel more tiered and a bit unfocused even after stabilizing my sleep. As the only thing that changed about what I did was the exercises, I think that played an important role.

As I have no knowledge in the magic of supplements and nutrition, but only have my experience, I would suggest throwing in some regular exercises and see if that help.

I do know that suggestion is a bit hard to start on, as I myself have so far failed at dragging myself back to the gym after not being there in 1.5 months.
