In my exhaustion, in my overwhelming exhaustion, I forgot all other obligations and went to sleep.

What type of rhetorical device is used in the above example?

Probably pathos. The reason is because the writer is trying to evoke an emotional response in the reader (feeling bad for the writer and his/her lack of sleep).
