Mine does too! I would generally describe myself as an ambivert (right in the middle of intro/extrovert) and I would say 6 to 8 hours a day on pair programming is too much.

I've only been at one company that has so I'm not sure how other shops do pp. What I find really helps me is actually taking turns at the keyboard with a timer every 10, 15, or 25 (pomodoro work interval) minutes. Take frequent breaks. Also, splitting it into two 2-hr sessions, one in the morning and one in afternoon. Increasing the time between your turns by turning the pair into a mob also helps.

edit: And maybe only 2-3 times a week.
