What is brain fog during menopause?

Brain fog refers to difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness and slower mental processing. It can make everyday tasks, like remembering appointments or focusing on work, feel daunting. Many women experiencing brain fog refer to their brain “feeling like cotton wool” and feeling very groggy throughout the day, despite having restful sleep.

Brain fog can leave you very frustrated that you are not feeling as sharp as you are used to, and embarrassed when stumbling over previously simple tasks.
