Exhausted in first trimester — is this normal?

I'm 9 weeks and I can barely make it past 8pm. Work is dragging me down and all I want to do is sleep. How did you all cope in the first trimester? Any tips that actually helped? I've heard that it usually gets better in the second tri but right now it feels endless.

100% normal! Week 7-10 was my worst. I set a rule that I would sleep by 9pm no matter what and it helped. Also B6 supplements reduced my nausea which made the exhaustion more manageable.
