Crash & go

I'm experiencing a big mania but at the same time, I'm crashing with me/cfs. It feels like when you stay up for 36 hours straight and you're bone tired but you're on your 6th cup of coffee in the past 2 hours. No matter how I try, I am simply not able to rest. When I lay down, my mind and body are restless. When I get up to act on those impulses, my body screams in pain and exhaustion. I know I need to rest, but I'm just not sure how to do it right now.

Any suggestions from those who deal with one or both issues?
