Overallocation of resources instead of changing dates

[Zazoo]

I have one resource who is running 2 projects at a time. The only date
constraint on my projects is a "start as soon as possible" constraint. When I
allocate the resource on the projects, if there are some tasks which were
previously (i.e. before I assigned a resource) set on the same day, instead
of changing one date, Project makes my resource work 16 hours a day : 8h on
project A plus 8h on project B. What to I have to do for it to re-schedule
the projects?
Thank you.
