I got spotting for 3 days long before i got + on ovulation kit. and also more tired and so sleepy all day, especially in the afternoon. is it normal?

Spotting = ovulation: It is not unusual for women to have a small amount of spotting midcycle around the time of ovulation. This is related to a brief, abrupt drop in estrogen that occurs right around ovulation. This correlates nicely with the positive ovulation on the opk. If you are trying to get pregnant, a pregnancy test is also indicated now!
