You mentioned being up once or twice a night, so I assume your children are very young. Are you breastfeeding? You might require more calories if you are.
Another thing to consider is whether you should increase protein and decrease carbs. Lots of people find they have more energy when they do that. (including me!)
My doctor just told me that gluten, whether you're sensitive to it or not, blocks the absorption of nutrients in food and can make you tired. I was surprised by that, but haven't had a chance yet to research it further. Could be something there.
You might consider taking a multi vitamin every morning. The B vitamins tend to increase energy. If I take my multi at night I can't sleep.
If none of these seem like the right answer, maybe a blood test could tell you more.0
