Narrative:

We were cleared direct to jfk and to descend to 11000 ft. Then descent to 7000 ft outside 12 mi limit. We discussed high speed. I was hand flying no autoplt, no autothrottle with flight director. I asked the captain to insert a waypoint at the 12 mi limit so I could slow accordingly. I was leveling at 7000 ft. I watched the captain do the inputs into the FMC CDU. When he finished, he looked up and noticed I had drifted through my altitude. He pulled the aircraft back to 7000 ft. Contributing: mainly fatigue, causing slow scan, easily distraction. No autoplt, no autothrottle. FMC inputs at low altitudes distracting. Not utilizing available equipment.

Title: ACR AFTER ALL NIGHT FLT RPTS FATIGUE AND DISTR CONTRIBUTED TO DSCNT BELOW ASSIGNED ALT.

Narrative: WE WERE CLRED DIRECT TO JFK AND TO DSND TO 11000 FT. THEN DSCNT TO 7000 FT OUTSIDE 12 MI LIMIT. WE DISCUSSED HIGH SPD. I WAS HAND FLYING NO AUTOPLT, NO AUTOTHROTTLE WITH FLT DIRECTOR. I ASKED THE CAPT TO INSERT A WAYPOINT AT THE 12 MI LIMIT SO I COULD SLOW ACCORDINGLY. I WAS LEVELING AT 7000 FT. I WATCHED THE CAPT DO THE INPUTS INTO THE FMC CDU. WHEN HE FINISHED, HE LOOKED UP AND NOTICED I HAD DRIFTED THROUGH MY ALT. HE PULLED THE ACFT BACK TO 7000 FT. CONTRIBUTING: MAINLY FATIGUE, CAUSING SLOW SCAN, EASILY DISTR. NO AUTOPLT, NO AUTOTHROTTLE. FMC INPUTS AT LOW ALTS DISTRACTING. NOT UTILIZING AVAILABLE EQUIP.
