fatigue

I feel like I'm tired all the time. Patrick pulled me onto the caffeine wagon and I started having a teeny tiny sip of coffee in the morning. Then the teeny tiny cup became a half cup and then I started needing a few sips of diet coke in the afternoon and then a bit more until now I feel like I need a whole diet coke mid-day to get me through. I have never been big into caffeine. Never needed it and was thankful I could get though my day without needing a pick-me-up.
But not now.
I feel like I'm exhausted all the time. I get a full night's sleep and I still am sleepy by 3:00. I don't like this feeling because by the time I get to pick up Piper I'm pooped and just want to drag myself to the couch to veg.
I take a multi-vitamin, eat well and get plenty of sleep. I'm going to start drinking more water (I use to drink SO much water, but I've gotten off that good habit) and maybe try eating more red meat.

Any suggestions?
