Okay so feeling super tired, even when you've slept a lot, can totally be a thing around your period. It's really common and there are a few reasons why.
Your hormones are doing a lot of wild stuff right before your period and during it, and that can make you feel super drained. Plus, your body is literally losing blood, and that means you might be losing some iron too. Iron is super important for energy, so if you're low on it, you'll feel tired no matter how much you sleep.
It's a good idea to make sure you're eating foods with iron, like leafy greens, beans, and lean meats, especially when you have your period. And even though it feels like you're already sleeping a lot, listen to your body and rest when you need to. Sometimes a little nap can make a big difference. Also, staying hydrated and moving your body a bit can help with energy too, even if it's just a walk. If you're always feeling wiped out, even after your period, it's worth talking to a grown-up about it just to make sure everything's good.
