A room can pass the test.
And still be exhausting.

I found a new word: perimenopause. It is the first part of the menopause transition, when hormone levels start to swing more. Periods can change. Sleep, sense of temperature and concentration can also be affected.

This phase lasts until a year has passed without a period. The menopause itself is the last period, which can usually only be confirmed afterwards. Other causes of missed periods must be ruled out; hormonal contraception can make bleeding patterns hard to read.

Some people notice little. Others get symptoms that affect everyday life. Symptoms can also continue after periods have stopped. A manager cannot decide the cause of what an employee experiences.
