  1. Hi Ellen. This is so informative, and know it’s true! I use to work grave yard when raising my son, so I wouldn’t miss anything with him… school activities etc. This later react havoc on my adrenals,giving me adrenal fatigue. It took a long time to overcome this while in menapause. I can’t function without proper rest
