What have you done to increase your energy level during menstration?

I am about 13 months post op and have lost over 150 pounds. I am happy and healthy and my labs all have come back within the "normal" range. However, I seem to continuously have a decrease in my energy level during my period every month. I continue exercising as I normally do, I seem to up my H2O intake during that time, but I just feel completely exhausted for a couple of days. Exhausted to the point of just wanting to sleep, sleep, sleep. Perhaps I should give in and rest more during those few days? I'm open to what others have been through and any suggestions. Thank you.
