Why do some people have trouble sleeping at night and what can they do to get a good night’s rest?
“night owl” = someone who stays up late
“My brother is a real night owl, and he doesn’t go to bed until dawn.”
“sleep on it” = go to sleep and think about something overnight before making a decision
“I’m not sure if I should take the job, so I want to sleep on it.”
A. Listen to the recording and answer the questions.
Man: What? Why did you wake me up? Woman: It is 2:00 in the afternoon.
Woman: No, you have to get up. You will be late for that class again.
Woman: You should get up no later than 6:30.
Woman: You need to get to bed no later than 9:00.
Woman: No, this is unbelievable. You need sleep; caffeine isn't an acceptable substitute. I've seen you fall asleep while driving . . . James, James. Do NOT fall asleep while I'm talking to you.
