Tired means needing rest or sleep. Tired after work, too tired to cook, I'm tired. It is one of the first adjectives a learner needs and it is used constantly.
It also means bored with something, and there the preposition is fixed: tired of the same argument, tired of waiting. Sick and tired of is the emphatic form. A third sense describes something worn out and overused: a tired old joke, tired carpets. Note that tiring describes the thing that causes it and tired describes the person, which is the standard -ing versus -ed pair and one of the most reliable sources of small errors.
