I never said everyone should do the max. I said it's the recommended max. That's going to be too much for some, and may be okay for others. Generally, 8 hours is a minimum, and 16 hours was considered a good maximum for 4G. As we have seen, different people can handle different amounts of stuff.
However, I think you are seeing things through the eyes of the lens you know (weight lifting) and are possibly assigning things incorrectly. I don't think you have "overtrained" your brain/mind, I think you have simply exhausted it. You're not getting enough rest, and that just means you need to use it for less time per day, or get more sleep. The brain/mind is not like a muscle. The only issue you're having is ... exhaustion.
