Sometimes when a girl has her period, even a few days into it, she feels very tired. Is this a normal period symptom?

Don’t worry about doing a lot, take this time to be lazy for a few days. Do not avoid eating food, or continuing your daily tasks, as your body still needs to be up and moving around.
