Occasionally, it crosses my mind that I haven't made any blog entries for over a year. Then I get distracted by shiny things, and it doesn't cross my mind again for another few weeks.
Sorry to hear about the exhaustion. You might already be all over this, but: in addition to just more sleep in general, one thing to look into is what falls under the catch-all term "sleep hygiene" (which I've always gotten a kick out of, because it implies that many people are sleeping dirty, which is a gangsta rap parody waiting to happen). One of the things that turned out to be a big factor for me was some standard advice to avoid any caffeine 4-6ish hours before bed; after I got into the habit of cutting out coffee etc too far into the afternoon, I didn't necessarily sleep any longer, but overall I did sleep better.
Assuming you're getting 7-8 hours of sleep per night now and are still constantly tired after two months, it might be worth mentioning to your doctor, if you haven't already.
