What's the defference between sleepy and groggy? Is it correct to say in the morning: "I'm sleepy because I was preparing for my exams the whole night." Or "groggy" would be better?

"groggy" is slang but not rude. I am not sure how widespread it is outside the UK. It says a bit more than sleepy. If you are groggy, you are probably feeling grumpy; you perhaps are not thinking or concentrating clearly and are moving around slowly; you probably have a headache.

Sleepy, means your drowsy. Groggy means that you're drowsy and fatigued. It can also means that you're drowsy and your incoherent or find the world incoherent.
