wo2 hen3 lei3 (I’m very tired)
But now you have watched TV for 3 hours and you are getting a little sleepy! So you would say
wo2 hen3 kun4
(im not sure if I have the tones correct…) | |

Your understanding between the differences of kun4 and lei4 is very right.
But the tones need a little bit changes: wo3 hen3 lei4 and wo3 hen3 kun4 | |
