Illness - Probably from all the Jet A I keep getting on myself when fueling.
Medication - You aren't? Not even tylenol?
Stress - Uhhh? What's my job again? Oh yeah... comes with the territory.
Alcohol - Works better than sleeping pills and is "more" legal.
Fatigue - No, never, not even on my normal 16-18 hour duty cycles.
Emotion - Refer to "S", "A", and "F".

Food for thought...and Im just throwing this out here.
A person awake for 17 hours straight has the same levels of alertness/reflex as that of someone with .05 BAC.
And the max BAC for a pilot is .04.
Yet duty days...I digress. You can write your own endings as to what Im going after here...

But also I tell my students you can be completely obliterated 10-12 hours before your flight and still be over the .04. Also if you eventually got it down below .04, most people will be hung over as heck.

Ah yes, the good ol' days of SAC. Occasionally a gunner would make an early morning showtime coming straight from one of the downtown Sacramento nightclubs. We'd just "pour" him into his seat and wake him up a few hours later for the fighter intercept exercise, but only after ensuring he puked a few times due to "inflight turbulence". Worked every time....Don't think we ever had any "repeat" customers.
