7PM leave Vancouver
9PM eat in Tacoma
1AM arrive in Portland
Sleep in a hotel, usually 3* is only about $40-$50 around PDX area via priceline.
*Insert 1 or 2 days of shopping*
Come back starting at 4PM
Arrive border at 10PM, depending on where you stop for food in Seattle.

It's actually not tiring at all. I would just sleep whenever I felt like (just find the nearest rest area).
The whole idea of doing that is spending the minimum amount of money on hotels while maximizing duty-free allowances.
In the case I suggested above, I spend 1 night at hotels but have allowances for 48hrs.
If you leave any earlier or later, you would have to factor the hotel money in and as someone suggested, it might not be worth the drive down. (if the purpose of going is purely shopping)
