Why am I so tired in perimenopause? Start with the first two minutes of your day
For many women, perimenopause shows up as exhaustion, irritability and brain fog long before hot flashes. Before you train harder or eat less, start with the first two minutes after you wake up: phone down, five slow breaths, a glass of water, then morning light.
How do I sleep better in midlife when life gets busy?
