Exhaustion is a feeling of being extremely, completely tired - much more than just "sleepy"; it's when your body or mind has almost nothing left to give. It can come from hard physical work, lack of sleep, stress, illness, or emotional strain over a long time. "Heat exhaustion" is a specific medical condition caused by too much heat, with symptoms like weakness, dizziness, and heavy sweating - it's serious and can turn into heatstroke if ignored.
精疲力盡、筋疲力竭;(heat exhaustion) 中暑衰竭
