Could someone tell me what menopausal tiredness feels like?

Just that really!

I’m 45 so very likely peri. My periods are more irregular but I have never know tiredness like this and wondered if it’s normal.

I slept 11pm to 9.30am and still feel like I could go back to bed.

I work so by the weekend I feel completely used up. It’s getting really inconvenient.

I think it is worth getting a blood test TBH. I can only speak for myself, and don't remember feeling like this at that age.

Yes I planned to get one - I’ll call the doctor tomorrow.

I sleep worse now, rather than for longer like you. Night sweats etc wake me up I guess, then can't get back to sleep, 5 hours is a good night's sleep for me.
