You can never get tired of Italy, however if you ever feel tired or sleepy during your trip in Italy from all the walking and sightseeing and eating, here are a few useful expressions:
Essere stanco: to be tired
Sono stanco/a: I am tired
If you wanted to inject a little colour into your expression, you could try one of the following:
Avere sonno: To be sleepy
Essere assonnato / insonnolito: To be sleepy / drowsy
Essere stanco morto: To be dead tired, shattered or knackered
Fare un pisolino / una pennichella / un sonnellino: To take a nap
Dormicchiare / sonnecchiare / pisolare: To snooze
Appisolarsi / abbioccarsi / assopirsi: To doze off
Buona pennichella pomeridiana! (Enjoy your siesta/nap!)
