Powerage Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I am in this age group and did used to get tired easily but was diagnosed with under active thyroid which was causing the tiredness since being on tablets I feel much better and dont need a nap. I never really liked napping in the afternoon as in some ways I think it makes you feel worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medusa Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I put that age range to see if any menopausal replied. so if youre 45-55 lets say, and menopausal , do you find you are more tired an need to nap during the day? Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android Ahh- I can't count in any menopause statistics then I'm afraid. Mine was artificially young and sudden, aged 32, when my ovaries were removed as part of treatment for a tumour. I felt like I'd been hit by a bus but that could have been due to all sorts of things, including having cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagger Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I'm in that age group, I'm 46, and if I found myself needing a nap in the afternoon I think I'd make an appointment to see my GP!! So, no, I never have a nap in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanP Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I am 46 and sometimes would love an afternoon nap but am either still at work or busy being a parent to two primary aged children. Everyone is different and we all need different amounts of sleep at various stages of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
day-break Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 What about other menopausal symptoms? what symptoms do you have? Do they actually exist? Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 What about other menopausal symptoms? what symptoms do you have? Do they actually exist? Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android Ooooh yes- I had plenty of those. For almost a decade I didn't possess any jumpers or coats because they were pointless with the hot flushes I had, but my heating bill was non-existent because the heating was only put on for visitors. I had a ceiling fan installed over the bed so I could keep cool enough to sleep, and it was used even in winter, along with keeping the window open and using a 3 tog quilt. Now it's just used in summer. The constant flustered feeling and inability to concentrate were bad enough, but when the forgetting words in the middle of the sentence thing started to happen that drove me up the wall for years. These days, a whole decade on, I can wear a coat when it's cold but as soon as I start doing anything that counts as aerobic exercise, like moving about whilst wearing the coat, I have to take it off again or sweat like a boil in the bag human. It's all fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cressida Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 .... and when and where do you nap? Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android Are you hoping to catch people napping? People often nap for other reasons in my case to keep myself out of the kitchen also I tend not to eat when I'm upstairs, maybe a throwback to when I lived at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenadaInnit Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Afternoon nap? Crazy talk. What about work and everyday living? If I was a rich girl then perhaps I could get used to an afternoon nap. Sorry but it really is a ridiculous question you know. You haven't even said why you want to know!
