Feeling constantly exhausted appears to be the new normal.
It’s frustrating when you know you’re not as productive as you can be, aren’t thinking as clearly and making some silly mistakes all because you’re fighting this state which is not alleviated by your usual measure of getting more sleep or taking a holiday.
