What do players do away from the table to keep from getting fatigued mentally and physically?

I find that regular cardiovascular exercise helps a lot in improving my ability to function up to my capabilities. Also, staying away from greasy foods helps to avoid "food coma." That said...

The problem is that I can't handle more than maybe 4-5 hours

This sounds pretty normal. If more than 5% of the population could do any sustained mental activity for 5+ hours straight without a dropoff in performance I would be shocked. And even if you could handle playing 10 hour sessions 6 days a week, I think you'd be putting yourself at serious risk of burning out.

And if all else fails, there's always ritalin.
