Lethargic / listless

1. lethargic

2. listless

Q1) Do you use 1 and 2 often in conversation?

- I'm lethargic (so I can't do anything!).

- I'm lethargic because I have worked so/too hard!

Q2) Do you use 2 similarly as in 1 position underlined?

They are both common in my conversation; however, they do not refer to exhaustion, but to an endogenous, primarily psychological, state, so their use in your second sentence is not appropriate. Your first sentence, of course, is without context; it simply redefines the words in your parentheses.
