I had a wonderful essay written as a response to this last night but my internet went gay. Fucking faggot as computer. But anyway..
Obviously sleep is not a problem.. it seems as if you aren't OVER sleeping or simply, not getting enough.
So I'm going with what Steve said.. you diet might be inbalance.
NOTE: you need Microsoft Excel for this.

Download that.. Use that calculator to see how your diet should be composed of. You mentioned something about your protein intake. Protein doesnt necessarily provide you with energy but it helps build muscle. Fat is stored energy and carbohydrates give you energy so you might want to increase your high quality carbs & fat. Complex carbohydrates like wheat bread ,brown rice, oats, nuts, pasta, potatoes will give you a boost in energy levels.
Fat is the body’s major source of energy storage. The recommended intake of total fat is less than 30% (25% preferred) of daily total calorie intake, but the kind of fat may be as important as the amount. Saturated fat increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Omega-3 fatty acids (a type of polyunsaturated fat), found in heart-healthy fish and other foods, are protective against CVD.
Saturated Fat:
Recommendation: 7% or less of total calorie intake
Food sources: fatty meat, poultry with skin, butter, whole-milk dairy foods, and coconut and palm oils
Monounsaturated Fat:
Recommendation: 10% or greater of total calorie intake
Food sources: nuts, seeds, canola and olive oils, avocado, and fish
Polyunsaturated Fat
Recommendation: 10% or less of total calorie intake
Food sources: fish, walnuts, flax seed & oil, and corn, soybean, sunflower, and safflower oil
Tip: Supplement gatorade for water when you work out. The electrolytes in gatorade replenishes you unlike water with doesnt contain electrolytes. Also the sugar in water will cause an insulin spike which will give you a short term energy boost.
