Narrative:
We departure runway 24 at teb via the teb 5 SID and climbed directly to 2000 ft. The SID limits altitude to 1500 ft until beyond teb DME 4.5 on a heading of 280 degrees. Prior to engine start I had briefed the first officer (also an experienced captain) on the ATC clearance and read to him the SID procedure. When I read the initial altitude limit; I said '2000 ft;' having visualized runway 1; even though in retrospect I remember seeing 1500 ft. We operate from teb regularly and each have done this SID from this wry hundreds of times. I did not see any traffic conflict on this departure; either visually or via TCAS. ATC noticed the excursion and chastised us accordingly. Contributing factors may have included a poor night's rest prior to this flight. This flight occurred at the end of several long range flts. In the preceding seven days; I had flown from iad to egll via airlines and then from eggw to rjaa; back to eggw and on to sfo followed by a sfo-hpn-teb day. At appropriate intervals we were given more than minimum rest.

Title: A G5 PLT DEPARTED TEB AND CLBED IMMEDIATELY TO 2000 FT WITHOUT WAITING UNTIL THE 4.5 DME. PLT ALSO RPTED FATIGUE AND CIRCADIAN RHYTHM PROB.
Narrative: WE DEP RWY 24 AT TEB VIA THE TEB 5 SID AND CLBED DIRECTLY TO 2000 FT. THE SID LIMITS ALT TO 1500 FT UNTIL BEYOND TEB DME 4.5 ON A HDG OF 280 DEGS. PRIOR TO ENGINE START I HAD BRIEFED THE FO (ALSO AN EXPERIENCED CAPT) ON THE ATC CLRNC AND READ TO HIM THE SID PROC. WHEN I READ THE INITIAL ALT LIMIT; I SAID '2000 FT;' HAVING VISUALIZED RWY 1; EVEN THOUGH IN RETROSPECT I REMEMBER SEEING 1500 FT. WE OPERATE FROM TEB REGULARLY AND EACH HAVE DONE THIS SID FROM THIS WRY HUNDREDS OF TIMES. I DID NOT SEE ANY TFC CONFLICT ON THIS DEP; EITHER VISUALLY OR VIA TCAS. ATC NOTICED THE EXCURSION AND CHASTISED US ACCORDINGLY. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS MAY HAVE INCLUDED A POOR NIGHT'S REST PRIOR TO THIS FLT. THIS FLT OCCURRED AT THE END OF SEVERAL LONG RANGE FLTS. IN THE PRECEDING SEVEN DAYS; I HAD FLOWN FROM IAD TO EGLL VIA AIRLINES AND THEN FROM EGGW TO RJAA; BACK TO EGGW AND ON TO SFO FOLLOWED BY A SFO-HPN-TEB DAY. AT APPROPRIATE INTERVALS WE WERE GIVEN MORE THAN MINIMUM REST.
