"I'm at that point of the evening where the effort it takes to roll another joint is worth more than how much I want to stay awake."
This person was trying to say that rolling another joint is not worth the effort, and would instead rather just go to sleep. I feel like in this case, the correct way to word it would be, "I'm at that point of the evening where the effort it takes to roll another joint is worth LESS than how much I want to stay awake."
You're right that the original sentence is illogical, but your suggested correction doesn't work either. Something can't, in my opinion, be worth less than "how much I want to stay awake".

I would suggest " . . . where rolling another joint is less appealing that just going to sleep," or maybe "rolling another joint is not worth the effort of staying awake."
