First, you definitely want to discuss this with your boss rather than just quitting. It sounds like you like the company you're working for, but you're just feeling the effects of burnout. Here are some questions for you:
1. how long have you been at the company?
2. what is different about the work you did this year vs the first year you worked at the company?
3. who at the company seems similarly burned out to you? have you tried talking to that peer about burnout and what the root causes might be (e.g. projects, technologies, pressure from business, etc.) before taking it to your boss?
4. do you think your boss is the kind of person who would welcome a frank discussion about this -- is he or she the kind of person that already talks about controlling for employee burnout and striving for work/life balance among staff on a regular basis?
