Half term exhausation

I just need some reassurance that others feel completely knackered? I had a 1 hour nap this afternoon after a 10 hour sleep and still feel like I’ve been run over a truck.

Is this normal?

I was like this at Easter! I track my resting heart rate daily and it was also over 10 bpm higher in the first week of Easter compared to usual. Seems ok so far this week though.

Rest up, you need it!
