Yes you can study too much! I'm the same way. I tend to set impossible goals and burn myself out super fast. I'm trying think of LSAT prep of a marathon, not a sprint. I took this entire summer off to do nothing by study for the Aug. test thinking just like you that this would be like a full time job worth of time. Now a month in, I've realized that I still need to slow down an preserve my sanity.
Also, quality is very important. There are a limited amount of questions and prep tests out there and you only get to see each one once for the first time, so you are actively hurting yourself by doing them when you are tired and your head is not in the game. You are essentially throwing those questions away. Of course, you shouldn't just sit back and not study out of fear of wasting questions, but can absolutely over study now and hurt yourself in the long-run.
Long story short, yes you can over study. It probably is not "weakness" telling you to take it easy as much as it is your mind getting burned out. You know yourself best, and it feels like a non-answer, but only you can decide where your sweet-spot is. Honestly, the uncertainty is one of the hardest parts about studying, but I'm right there without in that haha
