When you become tired, you want to quickly finish so you can quickly sleep, so you have more energy and motivation, I guess? Not necessarily mindfulness. But then if you really want to get something done, it may be natural that you become more attentive in your doing. I don't know but you can observe yourself whether you are mindful or not mindful.
But if you don't even know whether you are mindful or not mindful, then probably you are not mindful enough.
