सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Brazil, it is very common to use 'estar com' instead of 'ter' for temporary physical states. 'Tô com sono' is heard more often in the streets than 'Tenho sono'. In Portugal, the use of 'ter' is very standard and slightly more formal than the Brazilian 'estar com' in daily conversation. Similar to Portugal, 'ter sono' is the primary way to express this, often used in the context of the heat of the day.
The 'Com' Trick
If you forget 'ter', you can use 'estar', but you MUST add 'com'. 'Estou com sono' is a native-level shortcut.
No 'Ser'
Never say 'Eu sou sono'. It sounds like you are the physical embodiment of sleep itself!
