I believe it is exactly backwards. For several times in my life I got myself in a shape where I went to the gym and did my full routine, yet felt mentally so tired I could only think in the same way a drunk person would.
For me, at least, sleep deprivation taxes the mind much quicker and much heavier than it taxes the body. Good quality sleep without an alarm clock seems to be the best way to handle mental exhaustion.
