I hate to be the odd one out here, but I actually find that I am extremely productive when I'm tired. It's easier for me to commit completely to the code, when I'm well-rested I dream about running through fields of sunflowers and such, get distracted more easily. The code I write when I'm tired is usually of marginally worse quality, but it's usually easy to audit it when I'm rested and fix any problems. Although if I'm trying to solve something particularly difficult, especially something I've never done before, sometimes I won't be able to do it until I wake up a bit. Note that this is for being tired, not exhausted. If I'm exhausted I write a whole lot of awful code that I have to completely rewrite when I wake up.
