Narrative:
First officer was flying at the time the incident happened. We had been on duty for 12 hours. We were both tired. We were climbing to assigned altitude of 5000 ft. The altitude warning came on at 5300 ft. I got the first officer's attention and he stopped the climb at 5500 ft. He then descended directly down to 5000 ft within 30 seconds.
