For many women, exhaustion and brain fog during perimenopause and menopause are not a personal failing. Hormonal changes and disrupted sleep can affect recovery, concentration and everyday wellbeing.
AutoSense’s Menopause, Sleep and Fatigue Seminar helps workplaces understand this often-overlooked aspect of fatigue risk and take practical steps to support their people.
Hosted by Kat Aubrey, AutoSense’s Fatigue and Sleep Management Specialist, the seminar explores the connection between menopause, sleep and workplace fatigue. It gives employees and leaders the knowledge to recognise challenges, start supportive conversations and make informed decisions about wellbeing and safety.

Why can menopause leave women feeling exhausted, even after a night in bed?
In this video, Kat Aubrey explores how menopause can affect sleep, recovery and fatigue, and why understanding these changes matters for workplace wellbeing and safety.
Why menopause education matters
Menopause is a workplace wellbeing issue, and the fatigue associated with disrupted sleep deserves attention within a wider fatigue risk management approach.
Understanding these challenges helps leaders respond with empathy and practical support. It also helps employees feel more confident discussing fatigue and asking for help, particularly where their work involves driving, shift work or safety-critical tasks.
The seminar supports an informed workplace where sleep, recovery and fitness for work are part of everyday conversations.
