En chile se usa: estar amurrado.

In Mexico they use "estar modorro" in a similar fashion (usually related to having just woken up). I wonder if it is etymologically related.

Interesting! In Chile to be amodorrado is to be sleepy. (as in just woken up) :-)

I wonder if it is used in Spain and how. Hopefully one of our friends will be able to tell us.

I had never heard "modorro", but I did "tener modorra" and "estar amodorrado" with the same sense you said.

Estoy amodorrado, me voy a echar una siestecita.
Iba conduciendo y me cogió una modorra tan grande que tuve que parar a descansar.

I have one questions about this post, during the time that you have posted in this post, you have set the word Sulk that meaning according as the dictionary from Tomisimo (Amorrado. But even so I have my doubt about that word if really meaning Morrado, but What does kind Amorrado it mean? I don't know because I'm stuff with the word and I don't grasp the completely the word, then if you are lovely with me in explain me more about that phrase, I will be strength to understand better the phrase as you do.

I can use the word sulk with this sentence.?

I'm sulk today for that reason I don't want to go with you to the cinema...

I'm right or I'm wrong.

Exacto. Como dije antes, "estar de morros" = sulk.
Like when you see a child frowning, arms crossed, hunched shoulders and pouting. The pouting part would be the correlation with "estar de morros", as "morro" is a snout.
