You spent all day struggling with your difficult tasks. After hard work, you hung out with your clients for late dinner. Time flew, and it just passed midnight by the time you got home.
Dragged with an exhausted body and mind, you said to your dear family, "I'm going to bed. Good night."
你花了一整天和工作交戰：加班,和客戶應酬。回到家的時候剛過子夜。托著疲累的身子，於是你和親愛的家人說「我想睡覺了，晚安」。

You prepared for the final exam the next day, and you kept studying until the school library was closed. You went back to your house, throwing yourself into the couch and thinking "It's time to sleep".
為了準備隔天的期末考，你在學校念到圖書館關門。回到自己的家,直接窩在沙發裡。心中想著「我該上床了」。

同學們，英文中說到睡覺，除了 I'm going to bed, It's time to sleep 以外，

真的就只有這兩句嗎？？？
真的就只有這兩句嗎？？？

那你就太old-school（復古）了！！！我們來一起學習更local，更道地的說法吧：

●One's beauty sleep
美女睡覺？不是啦！是「睡美容覺」。
例句：My wife needs her beauty sleep after a long tiring day. She's such a sleeping beauty(睡美人) .

●Sleep like a log
log是木柴，睡得像木柴般靜靜地躺著，就是睡得很甜
例句：Ruby's daughter always sleeps like a log on the weekend. Nothing can ever wake her up.

●Be off to bed
結束手中的事情，往床的方向過去,那就是睡覺去
例句：I'm off to bed now. I'll chat with you tomorrow.

●Doze off
打瞌睡，尤其是指當下無法控制的.比如說太累或是氣氛太舒適之類的
例句：Ethan's living room was so warm and cozy that I almost dozed off when talking with him.

●Hit the sack/ hay
打布袋?打乾草?其實就是睡覺,只是非常口語的說法
例句：I've got to get up early tomorrow, so I'll hit the sack now.

●Turn in for the night/ evening
片語,上床睡覺
例句：Do you listen to any music before turning in for the night/evening?

英文會話，零基礎也OK！

這樣就夠了嗎？當然不夠啦!我們還有更有趣的說法哦！！
