I'm getting a bit sleepy vs I'm getting sleepy

Both these phrases are correct; however, they express slightly different meanings. 'I'm getting a bit sleepy' implies a mild level of sleepiness, while 'I'm getting sleepy' is a more general statement about feeling tired. The addition of 'a bit' in the first phrase adds a nuance of slight sleepiness.
