## What does menopause fatigue feel like?

Menopause fatigue usually feels like more than just being sleepy after a bad night. It’s a persistent, heavy kind of exhaustion, the kind where low energy starts to feel constant. A lot of women describe it as feeling drained in both body and mind, like even simple things such as making breakfast or running errands feel like a bigger lift than they should.

It can also come with weakness, brain fog, forgetfulness, irritability, and mood swings. At Alloy, we often describe it as a kind of tired where “exhausted” almost feels like a step up. It can hit on its own, or show up because sleep is getting disrupted by night sweats, insomnia, waking up to pee, stress, and hormone changes.
