I wouldn't understand "I'm a pumpkin."

I'm knackered (possibly Briticism).

I'm dying for sleep.
I'm dog tired.
I'm bushed.
I'm beat.

"i'm dead on my feet." is another variation on the theme.

pjt33 - the 'pumpkin' reference is from the well-known story of cinderella,
whose fancy carriage would turn back into a pumpkin after the stroke of
midnight. if a person says "oh, it's past my bedtime", someone might
jokingly respond with "so what, you're going to turn into a pumpkin?"
