Is there any way for your work to allow you to take a break in the afternoon for a nap? Ideally, they have a space where you can get some quiet time and that nap will perk you up. I was napping off and on for a good year after completing treatments.
Now at 20 months, I am pulling solid 11 hour days non stop. I will say that when I get home, I'm running on fumes but at least go the distance. Hang in there! Don
