A four mile run should not leave you tired the next day or two, unless you're really out of shape.

How often do you exercise? Perhaps you could try a little bit of exercise every other day? If you don't push yourself very hard, one day is sufficient to recover and may prevent you from going through peaks and valleys.

On another note, if you're really drinking a lot of coffee, you may simply be experiencing diminishing returns...all that caffeine has a weaker and weaker effect as you drink more.

On yet another note, lots of caffeine depletes magnesium from the body (among other things like calcium). A friend of mine swore off most of coffee, started taking a small magnesium supplement and is convinced it helped with his energy levels.

I have been considering fish oil, and perhaps one a day men's (pro edge). neither can really be bad right? at most i feel no different?

You don't need anything more than fish oil, a multivitamin, whey protein and creatine if you desire it. I also take joint supplements only because I had a minor shoulder injury in the past.

Like others have said, you shouldn't have a 'general tiredness' from working out the previous day. You are simply not getting enough sleep.

Ah the wonders of EC stack. I am about to finish my cycle up this week, It's been a good addition but is definitely no miracle pill(s).

This. Though I was on creatine for the recovery effects (on a really aggressive workout plan and can never get enough sleep) and managed to completely substitute it out for coconut water. That's right, I replaced my creatine with coconut water. Coconut water is high in potassium which aids in muscle recovery. It isn't as good as creatine but it's good enough for me and now I'm not carrying around that extra creatine gut from water retention.

Though I'm currently on an Alpha-T2/Lean Xtreme stack, and have lost 10lbs in the past month which is pretty good for my bf%.

Do you think this could help with getting to sleep at night? The magnesium part, not the caffeine thing (tried quitting caffeine but it didn't help my sleep much).
