Learn English – Idiom Request: being overworked, burned out, having too much work

idioms

I'm an illustrator and need some idiom help (obviously visualizing but using existing idioms or metaphors can help). The article I'm illustrating for is about teachers quitting their jobs within 5 years as it's very overwhelming and they're often not prepared enough. There's too much they have to do at once, making late hours and not being able to keep their minds off of work, feeling overexhausted. What are some idioms that fit with this situation?

Thanks!

They could be "pooped out". It fits your description.
