I do not understand the difference between känna sig and känns. Why is this not Jag känns trött?
"Kännas" is a so-called deponent verb and there is a very good post by Arnauti here, where you can read about the phrase "Rummet känns kallt" for example.
"Jag känns trött" sounds as if someone else thinks that I seem tired.
Two more examples:
It feels good = det känns bra
I feel good = jag mår bra = jag känner mig bra

But then that would be I am tired in English. When both languages have the same possibilities, there's no reason to pick the other one.
