As a non-parent I'm aware my advice might be wide of the mark, but here goes. Try not to worry - human beings were designed to take far more punishment than we generally receive these days. You believe your boys are tired and assume that's a bad thing. Firstly your feelings about this may be colouring what you see - ask your family what they think about how tired the boys look. Secondly, it isn't such a bad thing for children to be tired as long as they have the opportunity for a decent night's sleep - that is measured in hours, not by the time you wake them up.

Children did hard physical work for much of our species' history. I'll bet your sons are tougher than you think. And I don't expect for one second that they'll ever say they were tired as children in 20 years time!

Don't be too hard on yourself is all I'm saying - they are well loved and it sounds like a pretty healthy lifestyle to me.
