This is actually very common on the approach to the menopause and some women find the herb Agnus castus helpful.
This is traditionally used for heavy or prolonged periods and for rebalancing the monthly cycle.
However, if this has been going on for a while it may be an idea to take a gentle iron tonic as heavy periods can cause low iron which in turn can cause fatigue, low mood and sleep problems!
If the Agnus castus does not start to help after 2-3 months then it is important to go and see your doctor.
