To feel knackered after work every day

[Lucyloo223]

Like really really exhausted. Sleep at least 7 hours a night. Job is emotionally and mentally very taxing not physical. Slightly overweight. Mid 30s. Work day is 8 or 10 hours. Is this normal? Bloods normal.

I'd say pretty normal, I work 12 hour shifts, very mentally and physically demanding, often fall asleep on the sofa after getting in

I have a similar job, and am similarly exhausted. Unfortunately, the more tired I am, the worse I sleep.

But this is only since Covid. In my 30s, this job would not have tired me out; I would still have had the energy to do things after work. In my early 50s, before Covid, I was not exhausted by the job, either. Drained, sometimes, but not regularly exhausted. I absolutely blame Covid.
