Tired All the Time

Why women are run down and burnt out - and how to fix it

Description

Tired All the Timevalidates, educates and empowers exhausted women – highlighting the different steps, both big and small, that we can take to ease the burden

If you are feeling physically, mentally and emotionally drained, but still find yourself ploughing on until you can plough no further, you are not alone.

Tired All the Timeinterrogates women's exhaustion in the wider context of the gender health gap, acknowledging the impact of our biology and our circumstances across the whole of our lives. Using evidence-based solutions, it helps us answer the questions: whyarewomen more likely than men to be run down and burnt out, and what can we do about it?

Guided by medical experts, health journalist Sarah Graham examines women's bodies and hormones, the psychological burden of sexism, and the weight of the social expectations placed on us.

We hear from a diverse range of women as they share how they manage their health, sleep and energy levels in the face of everything life has to throw at them. Throughout each chapter, experts across the healthcare and research sphere offer practical, realistic advice – the kind that doesn't require us winning the lottery or going to live in a commune.
