Hello, I went to the GP last week about this exact thing. I’ve had bloods and it’s. One back I’m slightly deficient in iron and B12. But I think the biggest factor is my lifestyle and stress/anxiety. I need to find ways to help this. I’ve tried doing meditation and all that but can’t get my brain to shut up.

do you have children?

How old are you?

Do you think you are suffering burnout? Depression? Any medical issues? Have you checked? Are you getting sufficient sleep normally? Have you checked your iron level?

Gosh that is early to bed.

I'm going to assume you've had blood tests and they've all come back clear?

Could you perhaps tweak your diet?

Are you anemic ? Do you eat well ? How old are you ?
35 hrs is pretty standard for a working week
I don’t think it’s normal to be that tired , wonder if you deficient in some nutrient , are you depressed ? Demotivated ?
