I don't feel non-drugged until well after 6 PM. I'm sleeping very well. I even tried caffeine pills and even caffeine doesn't budge the "just come to under general anesthesia" feeling. I've been under before, and that retch-y feeling is the same. People have also noticed that I'm moving slowly. I don't drink alcohol, so this isn't a hangover. It started rather gradually but is getting worse.

Someone suggested it could be low b12, but I've been having the sublingual spray for months and there's no improvement.

Am I just getting old and this is something I'm gonna have to put up with for the rest of my life?

Honestly, talk to a health professional if you can. That doesn't sound normal.

Have you tried a pregnancy test?

    Doctors will do that a lot - send you for blood tests and then give up once they come back normal. You need tests beyond your standard blood test. I have narcolepsy and no doctor ever brought up getting a sleep study, my parents actually did. You should push for a sleep study since this sounds like it could be a sleep disorder. If it's not, you gotta advocate for yourself and push for answers because a healthy person does not feel that way after a good night of sleep.

    Keep going back. It sucks but this generates a history of chronic ailment and is what will get the issue escalated for other testing or seeing specialists. If you are in the US this is especially important in order to get insurance to cover things, and specialists typically have a long waiting list. If you need one get on that list ASAP.
