You don’t have to finish everything to deserve a nap.

Rest gets treated as something you earn, which means the list has to be empty before you are allowed to stop. The list is never empty. That rule quietly becomes never resting properly and never working well either, because tired work takes longer and makes more list. It is a loop, not a virtue.

Put rest into the schedule rather than at the end of it. Twenty minutes after school, one real evening off a week, sleep at a time you chose instead of the time you collapsed. Nothing gets worse while you sleep, and most of it gets easier.
