ねむいこ means "a sleepy kid" and nothing else.

"I am this sleepy." would be 「こんなにねむい」.


Your Japanese proficiency shall be in direct proportion
to your true interest in the Japanese Mind.

つかれた is another way to say this, but it's actually more like "I'm beat" or "I'm tired" and not just sleepy. AFter a hard day's work or after a tough time at the gym, you could say あ〜っ超疲れたぜ

Also another is 寝たい (I want to sleep)
