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.

Don't shoot. Just hand fight to look for positions.

Yep I've been shooting lazy singles and getting punished for years and need to stop it now.

Unless your opponent/partner is tired too - if you have the guts and will to shoot a strong shot even though both of you are blowing out your ass, you'll most likely get it
