Note from asker:
| Thanks. The rest of the context has nothing to do with this phrase. I suppose the speaker means that they have had a hard, bad night because of a pressure, and got exhausted. Have any better idea for its translation? |

Comment: "Thanks a lot for your comprehensive answer! I finally used "frazzled", but "pooped out" and "worn out" are also nice."
