Tired doesn't always mean the same as sleepy 🤷♂️
"I'm tired of these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!"
I am confident Samuel L. Jackson wasn't about to fall alseep when he said that.
You can be tired of something and have it mean that, but just being tired means sleepy.
It can just mean physically exhausted. Like, if I ride my bike for 14 hours at a reasonably fast pace, I'm going to be tired. But that doesn't mean I feel like i need to sleep.
Fairly sure that if you rode for 14 hours straight you'd conk out rápido
Right now, yeah? I've last time I did it, I took a short break lying on the side of a stroad, then biked to a nearby abandoned park and lied there for a while, and then went to a non abandoned park and walked for 3 hours catching beldums in pogo I think. Then biked home.
That took me a while to work out
It's a fine line between the two, but true.
