Why do I feel hung over?

[figmo]

I haven't had anything alcoholic to drink in days.

I haven't had any sugar all day.

Despite this, I feel "hung over" and have for much of the day. In another 1.5 hours I need to leave for SF, and I'd rather not feel this way, as I need to be "minty fresh" from 2am-9:15am.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this? Barring that, what can I do to remedy it? Is there some kind of nutritional supplement I can ingest?

The caffeine has been doing its job as planned, actually. I normally ration my caffeine intake, but when I got the call late Thursday afternoon to work Friday morning, I had no choice but to suck down a huge cup of the stuff Friday to be "perky" during my shift and to get home safely. I then went home and slept a heap.

I next ingested lots of coffee Saturday morning to stay upright during my shift. I had an emergency of sorts and had to leave right after I got off the air, drove home, showered, and crashed. I then had to be working in SF from 1am-9am (and allow an hour each way for transit!), so once again, Coffee Was My Friend.

Now that it's Monday and I don't have any pressing obligations, I can go back to my normal, much smaller consumption level.
