Top answer
Hit a brick wall means to face an insuperable problem and I believe hit a pillow means to sleep like a top or maybe when you just want your head to touch a pillow. 16pm is the time when you want to sleep but you have to work harder instead. I hope I'm not wrong.

So the sentence probably meant this;
2.16pm is the time when you want to sleep but you have to work harder instead. I hope I'm not wrong.
