眠い(nemui) adjective = 眠たい(nemutai) adjective = sleepy
眠りたい(nemuri-tai) verb+auxiliary verb = want to sleep, would like to sleep

眠たい--欲求(よっきゅう)

眠い is sleepy
but 眠たい is want to sleep
Maybe there is a circumstance :
I am sleepy but I have jobs to do, so I don't want to sleep.
私は眠い、でも仕事があります、そう寝たくない。
