ELI5: why a person can feel groggy and fatigued after getting very little rest, but feel energized after work with no sleep in between (no caffeine/drugs involved)

I very often find myself in a position similar to today; I couldn't fall asleep all night, finally passed out around 7am, then woke up at 9am for work. I felt like absolute death and as if I would welcome the comfort of my pillow more warmly than I ever had when I got home. To the contrary, I felt more energized as the day went on, and when I got home the last thing I wanted to do was sleep.
This happens often and I know many other people have experienced a similar scenario.
Why is this?
