Coffee and caffeine pills. If those don't work like they used to, then its probably a manifestation of a larger issue (not going outside, poor hygiene, etc). I don't have anything against people who use more advanced substances, but I've found roughly the same effect as caffeine pills.

Have to ask, do you consider those substances or did you not notice that part of the question?

Caffeine and, occasionally, L-Theanine. I have dabbled with using 5-HTP a few times.

Green tea in the morning. Espresso after lunch. Maybe another tea at tea time, Earl Grey, hot.
