"I'm just wondering how you guys approach this situation - if you're super tired while practicing, finding it difficult to concentrate and generally just playing terribly as a result, what do you do?"
If I'm tired, I play through it.
If I'm SUPER tired, I go upstairs, pour some scotch, turn on the TV, and promptly fall asleep.
There is nothing to be gained by playing if 1 is that tired. You make dumb mistakes that you wouldn't normally make, maybe stroll into some bad technique, and, at the very least, gain nothing.
Obviously you need to get better rest.
