Energy levels

Energy one day and exhausted the next - does anyone else seem to have this pattern?

It seems if I have a ‘normal’ day with work and exercise - the following day I can hardly drag myself out of bed
I am 7+4

How have you evened out your energy levels ?

I envy you your energised days! Grin

I am absolutely shattered. Nearly all the time. I wake up tired and I'm crashing so hard in the evenings I can barely make it upstairs to bed.

Worth looking at exercise and other non-work/optional things you're doing when you have some energy, so as not to use it all up and wear yourself out the following day? I've cut back on stuff generally as I'm having to prioritise work and sleep. I'm washing and making the occasional meal, DH has stepped up loads and is keeping things ticking over. I'm 8+4 so hoping the sleepiness will begin to lift in a couple of weeks.

Yeah I guess I could do a bit less
I’m a single parent though so housework and diy etc all falls to me but there are things I could do less of

I usually swim a mile three times a week - maybe I need to reduce that

I'm 20 weeks with my first baby and can't remember the last time I felt like I had energy! It's really getting me down now!
