Julianne,
I believe what you are experiencing is quite normal. Some people, when under pressure seem to run on adreneline. I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night or at 6 a.m. with the thought of a project running through my mind. If a person can get so involved that their mind still processes the events of the day during sleep, it is only normal to feel exhausted once the pressure is off.
Leslie's suggestions are wonderful and should help you to rejuvenate yourself. Having more than one project going at all times seems to help avoiding that drained feeling in between commissions. It does little for the dream state though! Now a trip to Tahiti - that I would call the optimum cure for exhaustion!
