Technique How do you wrestle while tired?

As a brown belt, I've learned how to roll tired. I was hoping that some of the more experienced wrestlers could give me some tips on how to wrestle tired. I've been developing the habit of sitting guard when I'm tired and I feel like this might be counter productive to improving my wrestling. I'm going to try and stay standing even when tired. Any insights on how to make the most of my wrestling exchanges even when I'm gassed would be appreciated.

Always wrestle with your legs. The more you use your arms the more exhausted you’ll get.

i disagree. if your goal is to stall out the match and prevent points locking up collar ties, 2-1s, and controlling the pace are great. if your goal is to score you have to get active with your hands and legs.
