What does SLEEPY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Ready to fall asleep, or showing the effects of tiredness; also quiet and with little going on.
A person who feels sleepy is not yet asleep but is moving toward it, with heavy eyelids and a slow mind. The word grows naturally out of sleep and is applied to people, to animals and to the look on a face. It is also used for places, such as a sleepy village, where life moves slowly and little ever happens. Sleepy is milder than exhausted and describes a feeling more than a state of collapse.
