Narrative:

I replaced a slide on aircraft X on mar/tue/05. It was a callout to replace the slide. I replaced the slide reference maintenance manual 25-61-35. I also had other work on the aircraft. In addition; it was monday and I commuted from ZZZ1. I was up more than 24 hours. I was very tired. I don't recall calling inspection or removing the safety pin from the slide. I worked on the airplane alone. A work partner would help prevent this occurrence.
