Interesting Ways to Describe Fatigue

How can we make a sentence about tiredness more interesting? To make the sentence 'My sister is very tired' more interesting, the tiredness can be described more vividly using words such as 'exhausted' or 'drowsy'. They offer a more intense sense of fatigue than 'very tired'. 'Cheerful' and 'grumpy' don't represent the same state.

In the sentence, 'My sister is very tired.', the words 'very tired' describe the physical state of the sister. To make the sentence more interesting, the words 'very tired' could be replaced with the word 'exhausted' or 'drowsy'. Both these words mean considerably tired but offer a more intense or dramatic sense of fatigue. Here is how to use these words: 'My sister is exhausted.' or 'My sister is drowsy'.

Note that 'cheerful' and 'grumpy' also describe moods or states but they do not convey the same meaning as 'very tired'.
