was pleasantly sleepy vs am pleasantly sleepy

The phrase 'was pleasantly sleepy' is correct, while 'am pleasantly sleepy' is incorrect. 'Was pleasantly sleepy' is the past tense form of the verb 'to be' used with an adjective to describe a feeling in the past. On the other hand, 'am' is the present tense form of the verb 'to be,' so it doesn't match with the past tense adjective 'sleepy.'
