Is the sentence you are tired need to sleep today a run-on sentence?

Yes, the sentence "You are tired need to sleep today" is a run-on sentence.

Here's why:

* Two independent clauses: The sentence contains two complete thoughts: "You are tired" and "need to sleep today."

* No conjunction or punctuation: There is no conjunction (like "and", "but", "or") or punctuation (like a semicolon or period) to separate these two clauses.

To correct it, you could:

* Add a conjunction: "You are tired and need to sleep today."

* Use a period: "You are tired. Need to sleep today."

* Use a semicolon: "You are tired; need to sleep today."
