The head of the drum is traditionally made from goat skin, providing the djembe with piercing high-pitched tone and slap sounds (struck by the hand near the edge of the drum) owing to the thinness of goat skin (compared to antelope or calf-skin).
Why Am I So Tired While I Am Pregnant? No matter how much sleep you get, you will be tired for at least part of your pregnancy. This fatigue springs from the body changes and emotional stress caused by impending motherhood. Your body is working 24 hours a day, seven days a week, creating a new human being. That's enough work to make anyone tired.
Another hallmark sign of both pregnancy and menopause is fatigue. In pregnancy, the fatigue is usually triggered by increased hormones and blood that are going to support the fetus as it grows. In menopause, the tiredness comes from a roller coaster of fluctuating hormones. In addition, you may find that menopause causes you to wake up during the night.
