How Do I Balance Rest With My Other Responsibilities?

My daughter is 2 weeks old and my husband went back to work yesterday. I was so busy taking care of her and trying to take care of the house, I feel terrible today. I know that I have to get adequate rest, but I feel like I am obligated to take care of the house while my daughter naps. How do I balance rest with all of my other responsibilities?
