How do I know when I'm overworked?

I have of late been burdened with a tremendous workload that keeps me in my office from early in the morning until early in the morning.  I am a self-employed, consultant, contractor, freelancer, call me what you will.  What it boils down to is I am now doing four times the amount of work for about two-thirds the amount of pay.  Seems like a great scenario wouldn't you say?

I realized this morning (about 3 am) that I have reached a burn-out point.  I think it happened when I had been coding for nearly 2 hours on some inane form/database transaction and I had to stop and try to remember what the project was.  I honestly couldn't remember.  I went to bed disturbed by the fact that I still couldn't recall who I was working for.  It's then I realized I NEED A BREAK.  Isn't being a contractor great?
