基本的には like 〜で、〜みたいである、となる。
曖昧な表現であるから、「kind of〜」やイギリス英語であれば「sort of〜」で、「なんとなく〜な感じ」となる。しかし、kind of や sort of は「〜の一種」という意味がベースにあるから、そのあとの修飾される語の一種でないといけない。例えば、クラッチはバッグの一種だ、のように。
I was like sleepyは「私ってば眠たかったわよ！」とsleepyだなんて突拍子もないという背景があり、日本文と意味がずれる
A furoshiki is similar to an old bag / A furoshiki is, to a certain extent, a bag
I was quite sleepy all day / I was to some extent sleepy all day.
The differences between the two first statements are very clear. When you say "A furoshiki is like an old bag", you mean to say that a furoshiki is similar to an old bag. But, if you say "a furoshiki is a kind of bag", you mean to say that a furoshiki is to some extent, a bag. It is not similar to an old bag as was the case in the first statement.
The differences between the second pair are as follows:
When you say I was like sleepy all day, you are saying that you were quite sleepy all day. The adverb 'quite' in this context means 'absolutely' or 'completely'. But, if you say 'I was kind of sleepy all day', you are saying that you were, to some extent, sleepy all day. This means that you were not quite sleepy.
例：A furoshiki is similar to an old bag / A furoshiki is, to a certain extent, a bag
「風呂敷は古いカバンと似ています。」/ 「風呂敷はある意味ではカバンである。」
例：I was quite sleepy all day / I was to some extent sleepy all day.
「今日は一日中すごく眠かった。」/「今日は一日中いくらか眠かった。」
例の１は、"A furoshiki is like an old bag"（風呂敷は古いカバンのようだ。）の言い換えで、風呂敷と古いカバンには共通点があるといった言い方です。
'quite'は強調する意味があります。
例文２のようにいうと、「ある程度」眠かったことを伝えられます。
Like と Kind of の互換性は非常に高いと思います。
違いを説明するとしたら、
Like は ～に似て とか ～のように といった意味で、
Kind of は～の部類 という意味です。
フォーマルな会話で使われるなら上記のような、違いがありますが、カジュアルな会話ではもっと感覚的に使われていると思います。
例文

（ケリーと付き合ってるの？まあそんな感じかな。）

"I felt like I was sick as a dog." In this case "like" is used to show similarities/ comparisons between 2 things.
"I've been kind of busy all this week.", in this sentences "kind of" refers to your week being busy but not very busy. Can be used like "sort of" which refers to somewhere in the middle of something.
〔1〕
"I felt like I was sick as a dog."（とても気分が悪かった）
この「like」は二つのものが似ていることを表します。
〔2〕
"I've been kind of busy all this week."（今週はずっと何だか忙しい）
この文の「kind of」は、忙しいけどすごく忙しいわけではない、ことを表します。これは「sort of」にも近いです、「sort of」は物事の真ん中辺りを指します。
