Imagine: It is bedtime and you could have done with a nap at some point earlier in the day. Everything seems five times more difficult and you are struggling to even brush your teeth before bed. When you finally climb into bed, you cannot get off to sleep.
This is overtired.
When you climb out of bed in the morning wishing you could have had an extra hour, this is merely tired. No over- necessary. Unless you didn’t sleep anyway.
